I love crawfish! And crawdads, and Crawdaddys, and Crayfish, and mudbugs.. and anything else that they're called.

My family likes spicy food and I like things that are easy to make. Hope you enjoy.

Its soup season and I'm exploring

Southern life . ( when I lived in Florida , hubby showed me how to do this and cook them, )Can use frozen from the store is an option if you're not in the south to get free fresh ones, it just will take longer if you add them in frozen.( yes these are real pictures of myself getting these crawfish and learning how to pick them up the right way .)

Delicious and pretty darn easy ;)

my favorite! not hard to make but if were any easier we might make it all the time!

one of my fav dishes to eat

Traditional Etouffe does not contain tomatoes of any kind, it is forbidden! However, I like the pop of fresh grape tomato acidity with the richness of the Etouffe sauce. To minimize the sin, I add the halved grape tomtaoes, minus the pulp and seeds, right at the end just to warm them. This prevents "bleed" from the tomatoes and adds the fresh pop I have grown to love. You can always leave them out, but I hope you will love them too.

Crawfish is for Lent, shipped here cooked and frozen, delicious enough to make you forgo meat for forty days. Only 30% of the cooked body weight of crawfish is used for etouffee, only the tail part, half of that shell, half of that meat. The rest I use to make bisque soup, and make puree. Farmers dont like to waste anything.Etouffee means smothered in a sauce with seasoning. You can make cajun or creole seasoning at home. I choose creole over cajun seasoning this time, it sounded more fragrant, and it tastes delicious.The left over crawfish is first used to extract flavor for bisque soup, then ground into a puree in the food processor for catfood. Cookpad frowns on posting pet food dishes, so contact me if you want the cat food recipe.Served with a bed of long grain rice to absorb the cream sauce.

I am a huge fan of crawfish boils and have attended many...MANY...in my time in the South. I am happy to share what I consider the best recipe/process I’ve witnessed and now make myself in crawfish season from April-July. (Adjust ingredients according to the amount of CRAWFISH eaters...those who don’t care for crawfish but still attend your boil will eat all the sausage corn and potatoes!!! 😡) Oh, and don’t forget to smear the garlic on the potatoes with a squeeze of lemon or orange!! Yummmm!!

My very good friend, Sean taught me this recipe and showed me how to make pasta! Then at Christmas, he got me my very own pasta maker that I LOVE! Thanks Sean!Now I'm teaching others this ridiculously good recipe!Ravioli? good! Crawfish? Because I'm from the south and we love our crawdads! Put them together and heaven is a place in your tummy :)

U can substitute seafood out w other meats like smoked sausage or chicken if seafood isn't ur thing. Will be just as awesome!! We make a lot of soups, stews, and gumbo type dishes here using whatever meat and it all works!! U can even use other seafood meats, i.e. crabs, scallops, possibilities are endless so please personalize and make this dish ur own :-D
