My crawfish etouffee’s a bit runny – any tips on making it thicker? 🍲

Running into a bit of a soup situation with my crawfish etouffee - it's on the watery side. Any secret tips on thickening it up? Would love to get it just right.

One trick I’ve found super helpful is to make a simple roux. Just mix equal parts flour and butter (or oil) and cook it until it’s a nice golden brown. Then, stir it into your etouffee and let it simmer for a bit. It should thicken up nicely!

I usually add a slurry of cornstarch and water. It thickens it nicely without changing the flavor.
