½ cup Yellow Onion, small dice
⅓ cup Bell Pepper, small dice
1 tsp Garlic, minced
2 tsp Creole Seasoning
1 tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

For the omelet filling:
Melt butter in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic, Creole seasoning and salt, continue to cook for 2 minutes. Stir in crawfish tails and cook for 3-4 more minutes until crawfish are thoroughly heated. Remove from heat.
