Ingredients
- 1/2 pound crawfish tails peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional chopped herbs like basil or parsley for serving
Instructions
- Add butter and olive oil to a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add crawfish tails and sauté for about 1 minute on one side or until just beginning to turn pink. Then flip. (If your crawfish is already pre-cooked, you'll only need about 1 minute to heat them through.)
- Add wine and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the crawfish tails are cooked through. (Make sure not to over-cook your crawfish meat.)
- Remove from the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped basil or parsley. Serve over pasta or rice and enjoy!

Notes
- For this recipe, crawfish must be peeled and deveined before cooking. If you use the whole crawfish, go ahead and take care of this ahead of time.
- An easy trick to prevent your butter from burning is to add a bit of oil to the mix. This makes for a better garlic butter sauce.
- Make sure not to overcook your crawfish tail meat. Crawfish tail meat cooks fast, so be careful not to overcook!
