Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Crawfish

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 large shallots, minced
½ cup chicken stock
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon paprika, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup chopped green onion
1 (16 ounce) package cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and shallots; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the chicken stock has reduced to half its original volume, about 5 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream; whisk in the Dijon mustard, horseradish, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the sauce is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and green onions; cook and stir until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed, about 5 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and cook until hot. Stir the crawfish mixture into the sauce along with the Parmesan cheese. Pour into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the bread crumbs are golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

EASY CRAWFISH PISTOLETTES

I found the basic recipe for this online a few years ago. I omitted mushroom soup (not my thing), and added hot pork sausage, as a request from my boss at the time. Prep time is a guess (depending on the crawfish you use), but they're easy to make and i've never had leftovers!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 lb frozen crawfish, tailmeat cleaned
1 1/2 lbs Velveeta cheese, cubed (usually only use 1/2 to 3/4 block)
1 lb ground spicy pork sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
24 pistolette rolls (usually 2 bags)
cajun seasoning, to taste (I use Hebert's or Tony Chachere's)

Steps:

  • Clean crawfish. Leave in bowl of cold water until ready to use.
  • Brown sausage per package directions; drain.
  • Add Velveeta and crawfish to sausage. Cook on medium heat, until Velveeta is melted, stirring often.
  • Remove from heat. Using a spoon, poke an opening into each pistolette.
  • Spoon 1 1/2 tbsp crawfish mixture into each roll. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with butter, if desired.
  • Bake per package directions (usually 12 minutes). Cool 5-10 minutes (best served warm!), and enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed
½ teaspoon butter
2 (16 ounce) packages cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
20 brown and serve pistolette rolls

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the processed cheese until melted. Reduce the heat to low, and keep the sauce warm.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crawfish tails and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Cook and stir until the tails are hot and beginning to curl, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the crawfish tails into the cheese sauce, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook the pistolette rolls in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool enough to handle, cut a slit in one end of each roll, then use the handle of a spoon to create a pocket in the roll. Stuff the rolls with the crawfish mixture and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your pistolettes will taste. If you can, try to use live crawfish or shrimp.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a flavorful bread: The bread you use for your pistolettes is important. A good quality French bread or baguette will give you the best results.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once your pistolettes are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include melted butter, garlic butter, lemon juice, and hot sauce.

Conclusion

Crawfish pistolettes are a delicious and easy-to-make Cajun dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty dinner, give crawfish pistolettes a try.
