Crawfish Corn Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Fry bacon, drain & crumble & set aside.
• Saute onions, 3/4 of the green onions, bell pepper and celery in the bacon grease (or butter).
• When onions are clear stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• Over medium heat add flour and make a light roux, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, but don't brown.
• Add chicken stock, milk and heavy cream then simmer until desired consistency.
• Add corn, crawfish, crabmeat, sherry, and worchestershire sauce.
• Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper to taste.
• Serve in individual bowls and garnish with bacon crumbles and reserved green onions. Enjoy!
• NOTE: Fresh cut corn makes this recipe even better. Use about 2 cups of fresh corn, with the milk from the cob. Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot.

Steps:

• Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute green onions in butter until tender. Remove from pan, and set aside. In the same skillet, melt 1/2 cup of butter, and saute the crawfish for 5 minutes; set aside.
• In a large pot over medium heat, combine potato soup, mushroom soup, corn, and cream cheese. Mix well, and bring to a slow boil. Stir in half-and-half, sauteed green onions, and crawfish. Season with cayenne pepper. Bring to a low boil, and simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors.
