N'AWLINS CRAWFISH A LA KING

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Cook the sauce about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the milk from scorching and sticking.
• 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.
• Finally, add the crawfish tails and chopped pimiento and heat the mixture.
• 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.
