Ingredients:  
1 c butter or vegetable oil
3/4 c flour
6 c shrimp stock
2 lbs crawfish - raw, peeled if you have them or frozen (thawed)
4-5 green onions, diced
2 small white onions, diced
1/2 c celery, diced
2 bell peppers, diced
2 tsp thyme

Cooked white rice
Directions:
Directions:
Make a blonde roux by mixing the flour and butter over low heat and cook stirring constantly until a light caramel color. This will take 15-20 minutes. If you burn this mixture, you must start over! When the roux is ready, add the "Trinity" (white onion, celery and bell pepper) and stir until onions are translucent. Gradually stir in the spices and garlic. If using raw crawfish, stir them into the roux and stir briefly. If using frozen, do not add them at this time. Add the shrimp stock while stirring the roux and stir until smooth and not lumpy. Simmer this mixture over low heat for approximately 30 minutes. Stir in defrosted crawfish and green onions and cook for another 10 minutes. Serve over white rice.

This is the best etouffee ever! You could substitute shrimp if you can't find the crawfish tails.
