Corn & Crawfish Dip

Pin It

Well, it's one of my favorite seasons of the year - crawfish season, that is!  A perfect South Louisiana weekend afternoon consists of family, friends, and a picnic table filled with hot, boiled crawfish; throw in some icy cold beers, and you have reached nirvana.  Last weekend, after eating our weight in crawfish, we had about 4 pounds leftover.  Since I knew I had a work potluck on Wednesday, I decided to peel the leftovers and make one of my favorite dips - crawfish and corn.  I say dip, but you can also toss it with some hot boiled pasta or serve it over rice for a delicious meal.  I've even added a bit of milk to make it into a bisque.  One of the most versatile dishes I make, you can substitute shrimp for the crawfish, or truly push the envelope and use lump crabment....

Corn & Crawfish Dip Printable recipe
½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
4 bunches green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 4-oz can diced green chilies

1-lb peeled crawfish tails
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Creole seasoning to taste

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and crawfish, cooking over medium-low heat until crawfish is heated through.
Add Creole seasoning to taste and serve warm with crackers.
