Instructions

Melt the butter in a heavy, 5-qt pot. Add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Slow simmer until the vegetables are soft, being careful the butter doesn't burn.
Add the flour and stir to combine. Slow simmer for 10 minutes stirring frequently.
Add the broth, minced garlic, worcestershire sauce, Cajun or Creole seasoning, hot sauce, and pepper.
Add the crawfish tails and simmer (not boil) 10 minutes. Taste test for flavor and adjust if needed. Stir in the green onions.
If you want your etouffee to be thicker, make a flour-water slurry of 2 tbsp cool tap water and 1 tbsp flour. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1-2 tbsp of the slurry to the etouffee and let it simmer for 1 minute. Adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve over rice. Serve with buttered, toasted French bread to soak up the sauce!
