Instructions

1. Begin by rinsing the crayfish under cold water and setting them aside. This ensures they are clean and ready for cooking.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat. This forms the base for your sauce.
3. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, diced bell pepper, and diced jalapeno to the pot. Cook these until the vegetables are soft and aromatic, which should take about 5 minutes.
4. Now, infuse the flavors by adding the tomato sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients into a harmonious mixture.
5. It's time for the star of the dish. Add the crayfish to the pot, stirring them in to ensure they are fully coated in the sauce.
6. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. During this time, the crayfish are cooked through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
7. Your Spicy Cajun Crayfish is ready to serve! Dish it out with the sauce on the side for an extra kick of flavor. Enjoy this southern delight with some warm garlic bread or steamed rice.
