Cramer Family Stuffed Crawfish Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 5 to 10 minutes or until translucent. Reduce heat to medium. Add bell pepper and garlic; sauté´ 5 to 8 minutes. Add crawfish, green onion, hot sauce, and salt and pepper; sauté 5 minutes to marry flavors. Cover and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Roll each defrosted loaf of bread dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 20x5-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle in half width-wise. Spoon about 1/2 cup of crawfish mixture into center of each piece; top with 1/4 cup of each type of cheese. Fold dough over and pinch edges to seal, fully enclosing filling. Cut 2-inch slits on top of filled dough for venting. Repeat with remaining dough and crawfish mixture. Place loaves on a greased baking sheet and brush tops with melted butter. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.
• Cool 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the evaporated milk, cheese, and crawfish tails. Cook and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes more. Use the end of a spoon to poke a hole into each pistolette roll. Fill each roll with about 1 tablespoon of the crawfish filling.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry the rolls a few at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line your baking dish with foil, and butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the crabmeat in a large bowl ad season with the Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. In your fry pan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over med-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool. Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss to combine. Add the mayo, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently. Add 1 cup of cracker crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat. Spoon the crabmeat stuffing evenly into each shrimp (about 2 tablespoons), and place, stuffed sides up, in your baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
