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.
