I must admit I was afraid of this recipe. Have you ever seen a crawfish? I'm a Southerner and had never eaten it but this recipe intrigued me. The texture is a blend between a cornbread and a casserole so the name is a bit misleading but...........I really liked it! If I make it again I would add some more seasoning maybe some minced garlic and Old Bay. It definitely reminded me of something you would find at a Southern family reunion--comforting and somewhat mysterious; ).
A friend made this and it was so good I ate 4 squares.
Awesome dish! I added Old Bay seasoning to the crawfish before mixing it in to the other ingredients
I've had many versions of crawfish cornbread but they're usually dry. This one is great! I like to add cajun seasoning. The original recipe is a little mild for my family but it's still very good.
I used crab instead of crawfish and added some creole seasoning. The whole family fell in love!
PERFECT!!! Tried as a side dish to bring to my new in-laws Thanksgiving dinner. We added sine andoullie sausage pieces for flavor. that and the crawfish was perfect!! recommend to anyone who like a spicy side.
Made it exactly as written the first time. It’s a good starting point. Second time I added crab and shrimp. Better. Third time I added some golden mushroom soup, crab, shrimp, chopped up sausage and a little bell pepper but omitted the pimentos. Fourth time I added all of the above but used a commercial “honey sweet” cornbread mix. As the man says “Bam!!” Grandkids, “Chicken nugget and Pizza roll” ate it and asked for more. It’s a real good starting point recipe that can be adjusted and made to fit your families taste.
Fantastic! I had to quit making it for church dinners cause people got mad if they didn't get a piece. My only change is to use red bell peppers instead of pimentoes.
really enjoyed this recipe although I did not use the pimentos and will use a lil less jalapeno next time I make this recipe I also sprinkled old bay on the crawfish before I mixed them in...but I took it to a mardi gras parade and when I told everyone what it was it was gone in no time!! Thanks for the recipe!!
I am Cajun and I feel like I wasted my crawfish in this. If I ever made this again I would use sweet cornbread mix instead.
