Crock Pot Crawfish Chowder Recipe Directions

In a large skillet melt the butter with the minced garlic.

Once your butter has melted saute the crawfish in the skillet with the butter and garlic.

Allow the crawfish to saute for about 20 minutes.

We used an 8-quart crock pot to make this in, would you believe the old lady has 6 crockpots??   The 8-quart crock pot is her favorite size and go to size when making soups or chowder, it’s the perfect size to make a batch big enough to have the leftovers!! Plus you can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order and bam UPS man is saving dinner time for you when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery!  (Don’t have Prime?? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

Spray your crock pot with a nonstick spray.

Start to drop in all your ingredients and turn on the crockpot on low.

Mix everything and then add in the crawfish and butter combination into the crockpot with all the other ingredients

Cook on low for about 4-6 hours and enjoy! This is amazing served in bread bowls or with saltine crackers, we personally prefer the oyster ones.
