This recipe is from Hank Groover, Paula Deen's brother-in-law. I have not tried it yet, just putting here for safe keeping.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 cups yellow onions, diced
1/2 cup bacon, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 cup beer
4 cups clam juice
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch cayenne
1 cup half-and-half
1 lb crawfish, precooked
rice, cooked, for serving
Directions:
1. In a heavy pan melt butter and add flour to make a roux. Stir constantly over a low heat until it takes on a beige color and loses the floury taste; about 30 minutes.
2. When the roux is done, stir in vegetables, bacon and parsley.
3. Add in beer, clam juice, bay leaf, seasonings and half-and-half. Stir, and cover pot. Let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
4. Nearing the end of cooking, add in precooked crawfish and serve over rice.
