Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped yellow onions
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
- 4 cups fresh white corn kernels
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 8 ounces cooked crawfish tails
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- Rice, as accompaniment
- Chopped green onions, garnish
- Finely diced tomatoes, garnish
Directions
In a large saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and 1 teaspoon of the Essence, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the corn and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken stock and cook until almost all evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of stock and cook until almost all evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the crawfish, remaining 2 teaspoons of Essence, and salt, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the cream, bring to a boil, and cook until the crawfish are warmed through and the sauce is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from the heat and serve with rice, garnished with the green onions and tomato concasse.
