Spicy Crawfish Spread Recipes

Steps:

• In 8-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook onion, celery and garlic in butter 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Add seasoning blend and red pepper; cook and stir 30 seconds longer.
• In medium bowl, mix vegetables and crawfish tails. Add cream cheese; stir gently to combine. Serve with celery sticks.

Steps:

• PURGE CRAWFISH.
• First thing is to purge crawfish in a separate tub. to do this you simply dump the crawfish in a wash tub or something of size,fill with water over top of crawfish,and then sprinkle a box of salt all over them. Let crawfish set in the salt water for amount of time it takes to get water boiling in stock pot. Then drain & rinse them real good before adding to the pot. (Note: follow below directions before adding crawfish to pot.).
• DIRECTIONS.
• Fill 100 quart stock pot a lil over half full of water. Add crab boil, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, butter, lemons and salt. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes.
• Add potatoes, corn, onion, mushrooms, and cut garlic pods. Boil another 10 minutes Add crawfish, bring back to a boil for about 5 minutes.
• Cut fire, put in 1 bag of ice and immediately cover pot with lid. Let soak 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain, throw crawfish in drink box. Sprinkle Tony Chachere's, shake box to mix. Sprinkle and mix until you see spice's on the crawfish good. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Take one lb. of the crawfish tails and process them in a food processor until well chopped.
• Brown your sausage, onion and bell pepper in a large sauce pan; drain when sausage is done (I use my colander).
• Return the sausage mixture to the saucepan and all all of the remaining ingredients except for the 2 lbs. of crawfish.
• Mix well and cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted.
• After the cheese is melted, add the crawfish and mix well.
• Let this mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring to keep it from sticking.
• Serve this in a crockpot to keep it warm; also, it can be mixed up in the crockpot, just make sure to brown your sausage first.
• Serve with chips or if you really want a spicy kick, serve it with my recipe of Saltine Snackers.
