Cajun seasoning gives this freshwater crustacean a “fiery” taste. It’s the perfect Mardi Gras crowd pleaser, especially when served over hot rice.

  1 medium green pepper(s), chopped   
  1/2 cup(s) uncooked onion(s), chopped   
  2 rib(s) (medium) uncooked celery, chopped

1/4 tsp black pepper   
  2 medium uncooked scallion(s), chopped

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pepper, onion, celery and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.

Love it! We just use frozen shrimp instead of the crayfish. Easy and serve with rice. 8 points for a filling supper!
