Leftover Crawfish - Page 2

post #16 of 23
I would personally make a nice crawfish salad for rolls/sandwiches. I love that stuff.

I would use all the heads and shells to make a stock or a bisque.

Has anyone mentioned crawfish enchiladas yet? Not sure about the recipe, I just remember thinking it was utterly wonderful the few times I've had them. If I had half a brain, I'd try to re-create it at home.

I would suggest an etouffee. Here's a quick recipe that works. . .First, cut up an onion, bell pepper and some fresh garlic, and place in a pan with spoon of butter. Reduce the vegtables over a low heat for about 30 minutes, gently mashing them every few minutes, taking care not to burn them, an allowing for adding a little more butter to the mix if it starts to burn (you're not making blackened crawfish or a roux here!). Then, when the vegtables are ready, add a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. It's a quick way to make the base or stock for the etouffee. Then, add the crawfish, along with the fat and bring to a boil. Season with salt,black pepper and add cayenne pepper to taste. If it's too thick, add a little (very little) water to the mix, and if it's too thin, try adding a spoon of flour to thicken it up. Ass soon as you've brought the mix to a boil, back off the fire to a low heat and cook for a few more minutes. Boil a cup or two of white rice, and cut up some fresh green onions and add them a few minutes before serving.

Oh, don't forget the garlic bread.

There. . .that's an official Cajun recipe. . .well, it's how one Cajun makes a quick etouffee.

This.

Basically my recipe as well.

I add celery too, and use a generic 'cajun seasoning' instead of cayenne pepper.

Well, I made stock over the weekend and a fairly simple risotto with it. shallots, red peppers sauteed lightly in butter, little chopped garlic, then aborio rice till opaque, then ladles of stock, till almost done, then added crawfish tails, lots of parm, some nice chopped scallions and there we go. It was delicious.

I also made the crawfish butter with some of the bodies, which I plan on using for the roast chicken i'm making tonight. I'll post how that goes too.
