I hope these links show up correctly...but who knows.

Last night between fighting with NIN and trying to watch American Idol
, I got the hungrys, so I decided to make some Crawfish Etouffee.

The roux started with about 1/3 cup each of flour and vegetable oil.
Then I added chopped onions, garlic and green peppers:

After the roux and vegetables were done, I added about a cup of water
and let it cook for about 45 minutes. Most often I add some kind of
seafood stock, but I didn't have any.

While the roux was browning, I chopped up a little parsley and thyme
(thyme isn't exactly traditional but I like it) to sprinkle on the
finished dish:

The frozen crawfish tails were sauteed in butter with green onions:

This is the finished etouffee:

And this is the plated dish:

If anyone wants an actual recipe, I'd be happy to post it.
