Time 50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed
½ teaspoon butter
2 (16 ounce) packages cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
20 brown and serve pistolette rolls

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the processed cheese until melted. Reduce the heat to low, and keep the sauce warm.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crawfish tails and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Cook and stir until the tails are hot and beginning to curl, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the crawfish tails into the cheese sauce, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook the pistolette rolls in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool enough to handle, cut a slit in one end of each roll, then use the handle of a spoon to create a pocket in the roll. Stuff the rolls with the crawfish mixture and serve immediately.

EASY CRAWFISH PISTOLETTES



Easy Crawfish Pistolettes image

I found the basic recipe for this online a few years ago. I omitted mushroom soup (not my thing), and added hot pork sausage, as a request from my boss at the time. Prep time is a guess (depending on the crawfish you use), but they're easy to make and i've never had leftovers!

Time 22m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 lb frozen crawfish, tailmeat cleaned
1 1/2 lbs Velveeta cheese, cubed (usually only use 1/2 to 3/4 block)
1 lb ground spicy pork sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
24 pistolette rolls (usually 2 bags)
cajun seasoning, to taste (I use Hebert's or Tony Chachere's)

Steps:

  • Clean crawfish. Leave in bowl of cold water until ready to use.
  • Brown sausage per package directions; drain.
  • Add Velveeta and crawfish to sausage. Cook on medium heat, until Velveeta is melted, stirring often.
  • Remove from heat. Using a spoon, poke an opening into each pistolette.
  • Spoon 1 1/2 tbsp crawfish mixture into each roll. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with butter, if desired.
  • Bake per package directions (usually 12 minutes). Cool 5-10 minutes (best served warm!), and enjoy!
