Time 1h40m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3/4 cup butter
6 tablespoons crawfish fat (optional)
1 3/4 pound peeled crawfish tails
1/2 cup green onions and 3 inches of the top
1/2 cup minced parsley
1 1/12 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Cornstarch to thicken

Steps:

  • Add bell pepper, onion and celery to butter and saute until tender. Add crawfish fat and simmer covered 10 minutes. Add crawfish tails, green onions and remainder of seasonings. Thicken if necessary with a little cornstarch and let cook long enough to thicken gravy.
  • Using your favorite pie crust recipe, make enough pie dough for a double crust pie. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough to the bottom and sides. Cut excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fill the pie shell with the cooled filling. With a pastry brush, dip in cold water and moisten the outside edge of the pastry shell. Place top crust over the filling, cutting off the overhang even with the overhang on the bottom crust. Crimp the top and bottom crusts together, trim. Cut 2 or 3 one-inch parallel slits in the top of the pie. Place pie in a preheated 450 degree oven and bake for 10 minutes, then lower heat to 375 degrees and cook for 35 minutes longer or until crust is a golden brown. Serve hot as a main course.
  • Individual pies:
  • Using the same procedure, individual pie pans or a muffin pan with large cups can be used instead of a large pie pan. Roll the dough, fit into the cups, place the filling in the cups. Moisten the edges with cold water. Place a circle of dough on top. Crimp edges together. Cut a 1-inch slit in the center. Bake as above.

This pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pie crust was really tough. I'll have to try again.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the filling and it was much better.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The filling was too watery and the crust was soggy.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this crawfish pie. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly cooked.

This crawfish pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were amazing and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making this again.
