Ingredient

• 2 pounds of crawfish
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of paprika
• 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1/4 cup of tomato paste
• 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup of hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons of water
• Lemon wedges and parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. First, clean the crawfish by washing them thoroughly with cold water. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for a minute or two until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Add the cleaned crawfish to the pot and stir well to coat them with the sauce. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the crawfish are cooked through.
6. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the mixture to the pot and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
7. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
8. Serve the spicy crawfish with lemon wedges and parsley for garnish.
