Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced sweet yellow onion
  • 1 pound cooked crawfish tail meat
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups long-grain rice, cooked according to package directions
  • ¾ cup seafood stock
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and celery, and cook, stirring frequently, until nearly tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in crawfish, garlic, salt, cayenne, and paprika; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, stock, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
