This recipe was (after much prodding) given to me by a friend. The soup seems an odd addition, but replaces the traditional roux -- and the end result is nothing short of wonderful. Serve over rice or linguine.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup

  • ¾ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 pounds crawfish tail meat

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and stir in the onion, green bell pepper, green onions, and celery; cook the vegetables, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables have begun to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in the golden mushroom soup, parsley, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and bring the sauce to a boil.

  2. Gently mix in the crawfish tail meat, and simmer until the crawfish tails are opaque, 10 to 15 minutes.
