EASY CRAWFISH TAIL RECIPE

Steps:

• Add butter and olive oil to a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
• Add crawfish tails and sauté for about 1 minute on one side or until just beginning to turn pink. Then flip. (If your crawfish is already pre-cooked, you'll only need about 1 minute to heat them through.)
• Add wine and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the crawfish tails are cooked through. (Make sure not to over-cook your crawfish meat.)
• Remove from the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped basil or parsley. Serve over pasta or rice and enjoy!

PICKLED CRAWFISH TAILS

Steps:

• Put the crawfish tails and onion in a large glass container.
• Bring 1 cup water, the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, peppercorns, allspice, coriander seeds, celery seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, dill seeds, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, sugar, and ginger to a boil in a nonreactive saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the crawfish and onion. Let cool, then cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Notes
• If you like, 1 1/2 pounds peeled boiled shrimp can be substituted for the crawfish in this recipe.
• I like to serve these with assorted pickled peppers and vegetables for a spicy snack with cocktails or on top of leafy green salads. Quite good stirred into pasta salads, too.
• This pickling-spice mixture works well with many recipes that call for pickling spice. Make a big old batch of this spice blend (minus the fresh ginger) to give as gifts for friends who are into home canning.

CRAWFISH CAKES WITH CRAWFISH CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare Crawfish Cream: Sprinkle the crawfish with the Creole Seasoning and use your hands to coat thoroughly.
• In a medium skillet over high heat, combine the seasoned crawfish, green onions, Worcestershire, and hot pepper sauce and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cream, bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes, still over high heat. Add the butter and whisk gently until thoroughly incorporated, for about another minute. Remove from the heat. Serve immediately or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat over lowest heat. Set aside.
• Crawfish Cakes: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions, green and red peppers, and garlic and sautÈ for 30 seconds. Add the crawfish tails, 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning, salt, Worcestershire, and hot pepper sauce, and sautÈ for 1 1/2 minutes, occasionally shaking the skillet. Remove from the heat and pour the contents of the skillet into a bowl.
• To the crawfish mixture add the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs. Using your hands, divide the mixture into 4 equal parts, and shape into cakes approximately 3 inches across by 1/2 inch high.
• In a small bowl combine the flour with 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning. In another bowl whisk together the remaining egg with the milk. In a shallow bowl combine the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs with the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large clean skillet over high heat. Dip each crawfish cake into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the bread crumbs. When the oil is hot, add the cakes and fry them until brown, for about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
• To serve, place 1 crawfish cake on each of 4 plates and top with 1/2 cup of the Crawfish Cream. Garnish with chopped green onions and Creole Seasoning.

CRAWFISH MICHELLE

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.
