MINI CRAWFISH (OR SHRIMP) PIES
I am "required" to make and bring these to parties and family gatherings. When I can't sleep I get in the kitchen and cook, actually experiment, which is how I came up with these. They aren't hard to make, but the bread cups can be a little time consuming so whenever you're in the mood, make the bread cups ahead of time and...

Steps:
- 1. First you make a roux. NO! NO! NO!, not this time. Just Kidding! Sorry, I got carried away...
- 2. FIRST - In a large skillet melt butter and add onion, celery, and chives/green onions, and season with a little salt and pepper. Saute until onions begin to soften.
- 3. Add garlic, worcestershire sauce, cayenne (start with a pinch, you can always add more later), and paprika; continue to simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- 4. Add soup and Cheez-Whiz, simmer until cheese is melted, stirring frequently to keep cheese from burning.
- 5. Add crawfish and simmer 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cap, or to taste, liquid crab boil, (optional).
- 6. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add bread crumbs. Mix well and let sit to allow bread crumbs to expand. The mixture needs to be fairly thick so it won't fall down your shirt when you take the first bite of the mini crawfish pie.
- 7. Check the mixture and add more bread crumbs if needed, stir and set aside.
- 8. If you planned ahead and already have your bread cups made, then pop them back into the mini muffin pan and set aside, pour yourself a drink and put your feet up. Otherwise, get started making those bread cups. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/bread-sweet-bread/sourdough-mini-appetizer-cups.html
- 9. Once all of your ingredients are ready, use a small spoon and fill each bread cup, pack it in and heap it up on top. Sprinkle the top with a little paprika or chopped parsley. Bake at 350* F for 10 minutes and serve.
- 10. *NOTE: Before baking, crawfish pies can be frozen then put into a Zip-Lock bag and kept frozen until ready to serve. From frozen bake at 350* F for 25 minutes until hot.
- 11. *TIP: Alternate method for dough cups - Instead of making bread cups, you can use Pillsbury's pre-made pie crusts (2 crusts) in freezer section of the grocery, or you can make your own fabulous homemade pie crust. Use a cookie cutter to cut rounds that will form a cup when put into a mini muffin pan. Bake for 10 minutes then fill with crawfish mixture. Bake for another 10 minutes to heat through. *OPTIONS: If you don't want to make mini crawfish pies - use this filling to make one full size pie with a top and bottom crust. If you can't get crawfish, use shrimp or crab meat in place of crawfish. Add crab meat last so it stays together better.
SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE POTPIES
Rock shrimp and andouille sausage give these little pies some Cajun flair. Freezing the puff pastry rounds before baking them atop the ramekins helps them to puff into crisp coverings.

Steps:
- Make the filling: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook leeks until soft but not brown, about 7 minutes. Add sausage and garlic, and cook until sausage cooks through and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour to combine.
- Add vermouth. Let cook for 1 minute. Add stock and potatoes, and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp, and cook until opaque, about 1 minute. Let cool. Divide filling among eight 4-inch (12-ounce) ramekins.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Roll out puff pastry to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 8 circles that are 1 inch wider than the ramekins; cut a 1/2-inch vent hole in the middle of each. Freeze on a baking sheet for 20 minutes.
- Top ramekins with frozen puff pastry, and brush with egg wash. Bake until pastry is golden and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

SHRIMP POT PIE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg and water until well blended. Lightly dust work surface with flour. Unfold puff pastry and dock dough with a fork. Using a 4-inch ring, cut 16 circles. Set 4 circles on a nonstick baking sheet. These are the base of the pot pies. Discard scraps. Using a 3-inch metal ring, cut circles in the center of the 12 remaining circles. Remove 4 of the 3-inch circles to the prepared baking sheet. These are the tops. Brush the outer edge of the 4-inch circles with the egg wash. Lay 1 of the 12 rings on top. Brush egg wash on that ring and place another ring on top. Repeat 1 more time until you have 3 rings stacked on top of each other. Repeat with remaining circles until you have 4 assembled. Brush the edges and tops with egg wash and bake in the middle of the oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the shrimp with cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Saute the shrimp, 1 minute per side. Remove shrimp and set aside. Add remaining butter to the pan and saute carrots, celery, mushrooms, and thyme, until softened about 10 minutes. Add wine, bring to a simmer and cook until most of the wine has evaporated. Add the cream and bring back to a simmer until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place the shrimp back into the sauce to coat. Remove thyme and season with salt and white pepper. Ladle the shrimp mixture into the pastry puff bowls and top with the smaller puff circles.
MINI SHRIMP PIES
This is a recipe that we just served for a teacher's luncheon. It went over really well - a delicious dish. The cook, Michele, took this from one of Paula Deen's recipes. I prefer fresh mushrooms over canned, but I'm printing the recipe as written. Prep time reflects chilling time for pie crust.

LITTLE PIES (EMPADINHAS)
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Cut the butter into the flour mixed with the salt until the butter is the size of peas. Add one egg at a time until the dough forms a consistency that you can flatten in your flowered hand. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest 2 hours. This dough should not be handled too much. Roll into balls and flatten and place in little 1-inch ungreased pie tins. Fill with beef, shrimp, chicken or cheese filling (see below). Make a small ball of dough, flatten and place on top of the little pie. Squeeze around the edges to seal. Beat an egg yolk and paint the top of the little pies. Bake in a hot oven-400 degrees for 20 minutes and then reduce heat and bake at 350 degrees for 30 more minutes and serve immediately. These pies may be made in any size pans. The small pies are made for appetizers, the larger pies for a main course cut into serving pieces. If it is a large pie, you could call it an empadão. The individual meal size pies are called empada. The baking time will vary according to the pan size.

Steps:
- Use shrimp that has been cleaned. Heat the frying pan. Add the cooking oil and stir-fry the shrimp, add the finely chopped onion and season with garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes without seeds or skin. Add a little water and let simmer. Whip the egg yolks, add the milk and flour in a blender. Stir into the shrimp mixture. Continue to stir so it will not scorch. When thick, add the chopped palmitos, grated boiled eggs, chopped green olives and chopped parsley. Let cool. Mixture should be cold and thick before putting into the little pastry shells. NOTE: The same shrimp filling can be used for some of the other recipes in this section. If the filling is for pastéis, it will have to be a little thicker. If it is for empadinhas or pie, it can be less thick. For rocambole use a thicker filling. Less thick if you just want to serve it over rice.

- Prepare the pot pies dough: Place the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat in the butter at low speed until mixture is well combined yet lumpy. Add the egg and beat until just incorporated. Add the iced water and beat until obtaining an homogeneous mixture. You might need to stop the electric mixer a few times to scrape together dough from both bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface, form a ball, and then press into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pot pies filling. In a medium stainless steel saucepan, bring the chicken stock or broth to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and stir in tomato paste, whisking to dissolve.
- In a different saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, add the flour, and stir well to make a roux. Add a little bit of the warm stock, whisking well until combined. Add the remaining stock and continue to whisk well constantly, over medium heat, until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, shrimp and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and place on a plate.
- To the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add mushrooms and carrots. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until the carrots are soft. Stir in fresh thyme and cook another minute. Add flour and continue cooking a minute longer. Slowly pour in the wine and milk, whisking to ensure that no clumps form in sauce. Bring sauce to a low boil. Reduce heat and stir in peas and cooked shrimp. Simmer sauce for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Unroll the rounds of pie dough and cut each round of dough into four triangles. Use your hands to fit half of the triangles inside the greased ramekins. Cut remaining triangles into 3 to 4 inch circles. Divide pot pie filling evenly among each ramekin. Place top piece of pie dough over the filling and pinch the two pieces of dough together to seal. Use the tines of a fork to create a rustic design going all the way around the pot pies.
