CRAWFISH CORNBREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Crawfish Cornbread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (12-16 ounce) package frozen crawfish tails, thawed
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (2/3 cup)
Half a medium bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon butter (I used salted)
4-5 green onions (tops only), chopped
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced (or chopped)
2 cups yellow corn meal (I used Aunt Jemima's)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup oil (I used canola)
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated, shredded, or cubed
1 (11 ounce) can Green Giant Niblets whole kernel corn, drained
1 teaspoon Tony Chachere's Original creole seasoning
Garlic salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Generously grease a 10x10 (or equivalent) baking dish or cast iron skillet. Prep the onion, bell pepper, green onions and jalapenos (keep the green onions and jalapenos separate from the chopped onion and bell pepper). If crawfish are large, cut them in half then rinse them and drain in a colander. Drain the corn. Set everything aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; add the onion, bell pepper, and a little salt and black pepper and saute just until onions are beginning to turn translucent, stirring frequently so they don't brown. Remove from heat (don't turn off the burner) and stir in green onions and jalapenos. Add the drained crawfish and sprinkle top with the creole seasoning and garlic salt; return to heat for 3-4 minutes just to warm it through, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile, whisk the lightly beaten eggs, oil, and milk into the cornmeal mixture. Fold in the cheese and drained corn. Stir in the crawfish mixture just until combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until center tests done with a wooden toothpick and top is browned. Let rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares or wedges to serve.

MI-MI'S CRAWFISH CORNBREAD



Mi-Mi's Crawfish Cornbread image

Our family loves crawfish and loves cornbread! This was always a win-win combination, all in one meal for us. Unlike most corn breads that do not reheat well, this is almost better reheated than just out of the oven, moist and tasty. It freezes well also!

Categories     Seafood

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 medium onion, minced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 can(s) rotel tomatoes
1 medium bell pepper, minced
4 Tbsp butter
2 pkg 12 oz crawfish, cut in half
4 oz cream cheese
3 pkg cornbread mix (6 oz.)
3 large eggs, beaten
8 oz sharp cheddar, grated
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp tony chachere's seasoning
3/4 c milk
1/4 c cooking oil
1 can(s) whole corn, small and drained
1 can(s) cream style corn, small
2 Tbsp oil for skillet

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté the vegetables in the butter for about 3 minutes. Add the crawfish tails (cut them in half before adding) and the cream cheese and heat through for 2 more minutes. Let set off heat while preparing the corn bread mix.
  • 2. Heat oven to 375. Put the 2 tablespoon of cooking oil in the skillets and place in the oven while it is heating. (This will fit in 10' and 5' skillets). A 9x13 pan will accommodate it as well, I use the skillets because we like the crunchy cornbread bottom! =)
  • 3. Stir together the cornbread mix and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl, just until mixed. Fold in the sautéed vegetables and crawfish just until blended.
  • 4. Carefully remove your skillets or casserole dish to the stovetop and carefully pour the mixture into it. Place in oven and cook until done. Done is inserting a fork or knife into the middle and it comes out almost dry. DO NOT overcook. This tends to cook a little more after taking out, while resting. Enjoy...

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crawfish: Look for crawfish that are lively and have a firm texture. Avoid crawfish that are dull in color or have a slimy texture.
  • Properly clean the crawfish: Remove the heads, tails, and intestines from the crawfish. Rinse the crawfish thoroughly under cold water.
  • Use a flavorful seasoning mix: Combine spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt to create a flavorful seasoning mix for the crawfish.
  • Simmer the crawfish: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the crawfish. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the crawfish are cooked through.
  • Add corn and potatoes: For a complete meal, add corn on the cob and potatoes to the pot of crawfish. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce: Serve the crawfish with a dipping sauce made from melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley.

Conclusion:

Crawfish cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of flavorful crawfish, sweet cornbread, and creamy dipping sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit. Whether you are hosting a party or simply looking for a tasty meal, crawfish cornbread is a great choice. So gather your ingredients, follow the tips above, and enjoy this classic Southern dish!
