--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       c            Shortening
   1       c            Flour
   1                    Onion, minced
     1/4   c            Parsley, minced
   3                    Pods garlic, minced
     1/4   c            Celery leaves, minced
   1       lb           Crawfish tails, cleaned
   8       c            Water
     1/2   c            Crawfish fat
                        Seasonings to taste

     Make a roux by cooking shortening and flour
  together to make a golden brown color while stirring
  constantly. Add onions and cook until soft. Add
  crawfish fat. Stir constantly while cooking over low
  heat until shortening floats on top. Add water and
  seasonings. Simmer over a low heat for 30 min. About
  1/2 hr. before serving, add garlic and crawfish tails
  and let simmer for 25 min. longer. Add parsley, green
  onion tops, celery leaves and simmer 5 min. longer.
  Just before serving, add about 3/4 tsp. file powder,
  if desired. Serve in soup plates with hot steamed rice
  and Tabasco sauce, if desired.
