Garlic, minced

  1. If frozen, thaw crawfish tails or shrimp.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, cook onion, celery, green pepper, garlic, and butter, covered, for 10 minutes or until tender.
  3. Add crawfish fat (or butter); stir until melted.
  4. Stir in cornstarch.
  5. Add tomato sauce, red pepper, water, salt, black pepper; cook and stir until bubbly.
  6. Add crawfish (or shrimp); return to a boil, and then reduce heat.
  7. Simmer, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crawfish are tender (shrimp turn pink).

This recipe is originally for crawfish; however, they can be difficult to find in the San Francisco Bay Area. Butter easily makes up the difference!
