Ingredients
4 fillets catfish
2 1/2 tablespoons blackening spice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups heavy cream
1 16-ounce package crawfish tail meat, rinsed and drained
Garnish: chopped tomatoes and chopped fresh basil

Directions
1. Place fillets in a shallow bowl. Coat both sides with blackening spice.
2. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Gently place fillets in skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until fillets flake easily with a fork. Transfer fillets to plates and keep warm.
3. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel. Return skillet to medium heat. Melt butter in skillet. Add celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add salt, pepper, and heavy cream; reduce heat to medium low. Continue to cook, whisking often, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Stir in crawfish meat; cook until heated through.
4. Evenly divide sauce among catfish fillets. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and chopped fresh basil, if desired.
