Crawfish Pirogue

Crawfish Pirogue

It’s yummy! My husband and son love it.
I got the etouffee recipe from a Cajun friend of mine. It’s quick and simple.
I decided to serve in a bread boat to recreate a favorite dish from a local restaurant.
I serve it with a salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peeled crawfish tails
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Creole seasoning, or to taste
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup water, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 small bread loaves

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Toss crawfish tails with Creole seasoning in a bowl.

Step 3
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and green bell pepper; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic. Thin mixture with 1 cup water. Stir in crawfish tails; season with black pepper.

Step 4
Whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the saucepan, stirring constantly, until crawfish mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 5
Cut tops off bread loaves; hollow out center to create a "boat." Place bread loaves on a baking sheet; spoon crawfish mixture into the center.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until bread is warm and lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

The prep time will vary depending on if you are using leftover crawfish tails or boiling and peeling crawfish. You can substitute any type of seafood you want.
