Ingredients:

1 lb of peeled crawfish tails
1 large, whole yellow onion, diced
1 large bellpepper, diced
2 cans cream of chicken soup concentrate

Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours (until crawfish and bellpeppers are fully cooked.

Besides the rest of the recipe being terrible, there is a 99.9% chance that the tails are already cooked.

How about:

1 lb of peeled Louisiana crawfish tails
Diced trinity plus garlic (at least a cup, could use more)
1/2 stick of butter (add more if needed, but start with this)
Some half n half.
Slap Ya Tony's (whatever seasoning blend you prefer)

Saute the veg in butter until tender. Season the crawfish and add to the pan. Make sure to pour a little water into the bag that the crawfish were in and get all of the orange stuff out and into the pan. Stir to incorporate. After five minutes, hit it with some half n half. Low simmer for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Voila!

Crawfish etouffee made with a pound of peeled tails shouldn't take very long to cook.

Even better than this would be to use leftover boiled crawfish and make sure to harvest lots of orange goo from the head. That's the best etoufee ever, imo.

I hope that's ketchup over everything in the OP.

This. And I'm trying to imagine the texture of crawfish tails after being cooked in a crock pot for 6-7 hours.

Also, am I the only one who has never heard of or seen a fried egg on top of étouffée?

I thought it was hot sauce, but ketchup would make it taste twice as nice.

Maybe it's sriracha, which I could like.

I don't speak for the entire board, but if you care to address to question to myself personally I'd say that that étouffée looks like complete shite.

Honestly- it does not seem like an etoufee recipe, nor does the finished product look like etoufee.

scratch the Chicken soup concentrate and make a blond roux next time

FYI - I use 1 lb. of crawfish tails for every 4 servings of etoufee'

blond roux - 1/2 cup clarified butter & 1/2 cup flour, stir with wooden spoon until desired consistency/color (4 servings)

etoufee' only takes 45 min ~ 1 hr to cook. Crawfish should be added for the last 5 minutes b/c they're already cooked
