Ingredients:  
⅔ cup veg. oil
⅔ cup flour
1½ cups white onion, diced
1½ cups green pepper, diced
5 cups hot water
1 Tbsp. Tony Chachere Seasoning (more if you like it hotter)
1 sm. can of tomato paste (more if you like a tomato flavor)
3 (12 oz.) bags of Crawfish Tails,
defrosted, drained, (you can find them at Walmart)

Directions:
Directions:
Heat the oil and flour in a large deep pan over medium/low heat to make the rue. It usually takes about 30 minutes to brown the flour to a dark caramel color. Stir constantly with a wire whip to avoid burning. Once the rue is a dark caramel color, add the diced onion and green pepper. Cook this for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the water to this mixture. (If mixture is still very thick, add more water, a cup at a time.) Cook until vegetables are tender. Then add the seasoning, tomato paste and crawfish tails. Cook all of the above on medium/low heat for 15 minutes or until the crawfish tails are heated though.

Serve over white rice.
