Crawfish Elegante Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Melt butter in a sauce pan on medium heat. Add your onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Let cook 2-3 minutes or until onions start to turn translucent.
• Add your garlic, parsley, white wine, crawfish, creole seasoning, fresh black pepper and hot sauce. Remember you can always add more seasonings later. Less sometimes is more unless you know exactly how you want/like it.
• Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cream cheese and reduce heat, stirring until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Slice french bread into inch thick slices. Brush one side with olive oil, and lightly sprinkle that side with fresh ground pepper and paprika.
• Place slices of bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until toasted on each side.
• Serve bread with crawfish dip.
• You can substitute or add shrimp and crab in this recipe also.

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet melt 1/4 cup butter.
• Add crawfish and saute 10 minutes.
• In another large skillet melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter and saute the green onions, garlic and parsley.
• Blend in the flour with the onion mixture and gradually add the cream, stirring constantly to make a thick sauce.
• Add the sherry and the crawfish to the cream sauce and the seasonings to taste, mixing well.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the oil. Add the onions, peppers, and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute for about 5 minute, or until wilted. Add the crawfish tails and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. In a mixing bowl, combine the crawfish mixture with the garlic, parsley, green onions, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, mustard and hot pepper sauce. Mix well. Spoon the mixture into 4 individual gratin dishes. Mix together the bread crumbs and remaining mayonnaise. Season with Essence. Mix well. Spread the top of the crawfish mixture with the bread crumb mixture. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and brown. Remove from the oven and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in green onions, and cook briefly. Add parsley and crawfish, and simmer about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in flour to coat crawfish.
• In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks and evaporated milk. Stir into crawfish, and reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually add cheese cubes, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted. Season with salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Remove from heat, and bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the green onions, and cook until wilted. Add the crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until well blended. I like to use an electric mixer. Season with hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is pink in color. When the crawfish have cooled slightly, stir them and the butter into the dip along with the rest of the green onion. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight to properly blend the flavors.
