Meet the star of the dish: fresh Louisiana crawfish, also known as mudbugs. These little crustaceans pack a punch of flavor.

First, we sauté onions, bell peppers, and celery in butter until they're soft and fragrant. This creates the base of our dish.

Next, we add in the star ingredient, the crawfish, along with some garlic, cayenne pepper, and other spices.

The key to a perfect Étouffée is to let the flavors meld together, so we let it simmer for a bit.

While that's cooking, we whip up a roux, a mixture of flour and butter, to thicken the sauce.

Once the roux is ready, we add it to the pot and let it cook for a few more minutes.
