Add in salt, Tabasco sauce and crawfish fat, and cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat 30 min, stirring occasionally. Add in crawfish tails, lemon juice and parsley. Cook another 10 to 15 min.
- Just before serving, add in minced green onion. For best flavor, prepare dish the day before. Remove from refrigerator an hour before serving, and reheat just till warm to avoid overcooking crawfish. Serve over steamed white rice.
