Description

A rich and creamy crawfish sauce infused with garlic, shallots, and Creole seasoning, perfect for topping cooked filets.


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Shallots (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic (minced)
  • 1 lb Crawfish tails
  • 2 cups Whipping heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup Green onion (chopped)


Instructions

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the minced shallots and garlic for about 30 seconds, allowing their aromas to fill the air.
  2. Next, add the crawfish tails and sprinkle in the Creole seasoning, sautéing for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the pan, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil before reducing it to a simmer.
  4. Let it simmer until thickened for about 5 minutes.
  5. Finish by adding the unsalted butter and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped green onions before serving over cooked filets.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, let it reduce longer. If too thin, continue cooking or add a cornstarch slurry to thicken.
