Servings: persons

1/4 cup butter
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (Frank Davis brand preferred)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups bottled clam juice
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3/4 cup carrot, finely diced
3 cups crawfish tails
1/4 cup pimiento, chopped (2-oz jar)

1
Start off by heating the butter in a medium saucepan until it melts. Drop in the mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, garlic and celery and cook about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and clear.
2
Next, with the saute mix still over medium heat, whisk in the flour, seafood seasoning and white pepper and continue to stir and cook until they turn smooth and bubbly.
3
Gradually pour in the evaporated milk and clam juice, stirring constantly as they are added. It's at this stage you also stir in the peas and carrots.
4
Cook the sauce about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the milk from scorching and sticking.
5
If you want a thicker sauce, blend 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water and stir into the sauce a little a a time until the desired thickness is reached.
6
Finally, add the crawfish tails and chopped pimiento and heat the mixture.
7
through. When piping hot, serve it up on toast points, bow tie pasta, biscuits, English muffins, pastry shells or rice-the choice is totally yours. It's also delicious served the next day.
