NIKI'S FAMOUS CRAWFISH DIP



Niki's Famous Crawfish Dip image

Being from New Orleans, and being a true 'Cajun cook' I create a lot of my own recipes simply by experimenting. This dip recipe came to me when I decided that adding crab boil to almost anything will make it taste incredible. Everyone that tastes it agrees! It's best when prepared a day ahead of time and reheated. Serve with chicken flavored crackers.

HOT CRAWFISH DIP



Hot Crawfish Dip image

If crawfish are out of season try substituting shrimp. If possible use boiled crawfish or shrimp for the extra flavor and just add them last so they don't overcook and get too rubbery. Some day I want to try adding some of the leftover garlic and corn that has been cooked in the crawfish boil. The hard part will be getting lucky...

Provided by Ruby Henderson

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 stick butter
4 green onions (green and white parts) chopped
1 lb crawfish tails (roughly chopped if they are large)
1 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
1 tsp zest and the juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 8oz pkg cream cheese
1 3oz pkg velveeta cheese (if you like spicy use the velveeta pepperjack)
several dash(es) of hot sauce to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Saute the green onions and parsley in the butter for a few minutes. Cube the cream cheese and Velveeta cheese for easier melting and add along with the worchesterschire sauce, lemon zest and juice. When cheese is just about halfway through melting add the crawfish so it can heat through.
  • 2. When the cheeses have melted remove from heat and serve hot with crackers or chips or toast rounds.
  • 3. This is also excellent on thin slices of French bread that have been brushed on one side with olive oil or butter and lightly dusted with Italian herbs and grated parmesan and toasted in the oven. My favorite !! They are easy enough to make but we in South Louisiana are fortunate to be able to buy them in the grocery stores.

QUESO DIP WITH CRAWFISH (SPICY)



Queso Dip with Crawfish (Spicy) image

We ordered a dip like this at a restaurant recently and I decided to try and re-create it. Thanks to the "chipotle" suggestion from my bud Riff I believe this is exact. It may sound awkward with crawfish but I assure you it is wonderful and ever so easy to make.

Provided by Rise3834

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1 lb) box Velveeta cheese
1 can chipotle chile in adobo
1 package frozen crawfish meat
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • ~Iused my crockpot for this~.
  • Cube the cheese to make melting easier.
  • Cut the end off each pepper and push the seeds out with the flat portion of a knife then dice finely.
  • If crawfish meat portions are too large, cut into smaller pieces.
  • Put all ingredients into crockpot including the adobe sauce from your peppers, stir frequently to allow all to melt and blend.
  • I served with multi colored tortilla chips.
  • The chipotle pepper is very spicy so you may want to omit the chili powder or cut back on the number of peppers if you do not like it spicy.
  • *Thestore brand of Velveta works very well and the crawfish amount is just over a cup and I am sure you can use fresh as well.
  • This is also easy to make in the microwave but making it in a crockpot you can serve it in it as well keeping the dip warm.
