Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 c Shortening
1 c Flour
1 Onion, minced
1/4 c Parsley, minced
3 Pods garlic, minced
1/4 c Celery leaves, minced
1 lb Crawfish tails, cleaned
8 c Water
1/2 c Crawfish fat
Seasonings to taste

Make a roux by cooking shortening and flour together to make a
golden brown color while stirring constantly. Add onions and cook
until soft. Add crawfish fat. Stir constantly while cooking over low
heat until shortening floats on top. Add water and seasonings. Simmer
over a low heat for 30 min. About 1/2 hr. before serving, add garlic
and crawfish tails and let simmer for 25 min. longer. Add parsley,
green onion tops, celery leaves and simmer 5 min. longer. Just before
serving, add about 3/4 tsp. file powder, if desired. Serve in soup
plates with hot steamed rice and Tabasco sauce, if desired.
