Time 8h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup butter
2 pounds crawfish tails, with fat
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™), or to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the green onions, and cook until wilted. Add the crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until well blended. I like to use an electric mixer. Season with hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is pink in color. When the crawfish have cooled slightly, stir them and the butter into the dip along with the rest of the green onion. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight to properly blend the flavors.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crawfish: Fresh crawfish will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crawfish, you can use frozen crawfish, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the crawfish: Overcooked crawfish will be tough and chewy. Cook the crawfish just until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Avoid using whipped cream cheese, as it will make the dip too thin.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your dip a more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Serve the dip chilled: This dip is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cold crawfish dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover crawfish, and it's sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give cold crawfish dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
