HOT CRAWFISH DIP

If crawfish are out of season try substituting shrimp. If possible use boiled crawfish or shrimp for the extra flavor and just add them last so they don't overcook and get too rubbery. Some day I want to try adding some of the leftover garlic and corn that has been cooked in the crawfish boil. The hard part will be getting lucky...

Ingredients

1/3 stick butter
4 green onions (green and white parts) chopped
1 lb crawfish tails (roughly chopped if they are large)
1 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1 tsp zest and the juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 8oz pkg cream cheese
1 3oz pkg velveeta cheese (if you like spicy use the velveeta pepperjack)
several dash(es) of hot sauce to taste (optional)

Steps:

1. Saute the green onions and parsley in the butter for a few minutes. Cube the cream cheese and Velveeta cheese for easier melting and add along with the worchesterschire sauce, lemon zest and juice. When cheese is just about halfway through melting add the crawfish so it can heat through.
2. When the cheeses have melted remove from heat and serve hot with crackers or chips or toast rounds.
3. This is also excellent on thin slices of French bread that have been brushed on one side with olive oil or butter and lightly dusted with Italian herbs and grated parmesan and toasted in the oven. My favorite !! They are easy enough to make but we in South Louisiana are fortunate to be able to buy them in the grocery stores.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) salted butter
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (3/4 - 1 cup)
1 small bell pepper, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 to 1 1/2 lbs. crawfish tails (I used (2) 12 oz. pkgs. frozen, thawed)
2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced (about 1 1/4 tsp)
1 (4 oz) jar chopped pimientos, drained well
2 teaspoons Tony Chachere's creole seasoning
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
Small diameter French bread, sliced thin, buttered and lightly toasted (I used French bread twin loaves from Wal-mart Deli)

Steps:

In a large heavy skillet or pot, melt butter over medium heat; add green onions, bell pepper, and garlic and saute until tender, stirring so they don't brown. Stir in thawed crawfish, drained pimientos, and creole seasoning and cook about 10 minutes. There will be some liquid left and that's fine. Reduce heat to low, stir in the cream cheese until smooth and just beginning to bubble. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot on buttered and toasted French bread rounds.

Ingredients

16 oz cooked crawfish tails
2 bunch green onions chopped
3/4 c margarine
3 Tbsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
8 oz cream cheese
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

1. Saute onions in butter and then add all remaining ingredients and heat thoroughly. Put in chafing dish and serve with corn chips or your favorite crackers.

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. Crawfish only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become tough. Be sure to cook them until they are just opaque in the center.
Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese are both good choices.
Add some spice. If you like spicy food, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the dip. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
Serve the dip hot. This dip is best served hot, so be sure to keep it warm until you're ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

Crawfish dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and spicy kick, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
