How creole can ya get? Alligator meat and pre boiled crawfish are right at home in this spicy broth that's also filled with vegetables. Serve this over dirty rice and with a crusty bread to sop up the juices! :)

- 3lbs preboiled crawfish(you want to do this like you do a crab boil... lots of seasonings in the water... you can do it ahead of time, up to 2 days, and keep refrigerated.

How to make it
- In large dutch oven, melt butter and add onion, celery, pepper, garlic, and zucchini.
- Cook about 5 minutes, over medium heat, until onions and celery are beginning to soften.
- Add all remaining ingredients except crawfish. Heat to boil, then immediately lower heat to a simmer and cover.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
- Add crawfish or crawfish meat to pot and cover again, and continue to simmer another 10 minutes or so to ensure gator meat is tender and crawfish are warmed through.
- Serve over dirty rice with crusty bread, lemon or lime wedges, more hot sauce and melted butter for the "eating the tail" part of the program! :)
