Crawfish Recipes

This recipe was (after much prodding) given to me by a friend. The soup seems an odd addition, but replaces the traditional roux -- and the end result is nothing short of wonderful. Serve over rice or linguine.

I am from Louisiana and one of the specialty dishes here is Crawfish Etouffee. This is a simple dish with bold flavor. Enjoy!

This is a make-the-day before crawfish dip recipe that is out of this world! Very rich and great for parties or get-togethers as it makes a lot. Serve on crackers.

This is a traditional crawfish dish in New Orleans. This dish can be spicy or mild depending on the amount of red pepper flakes you use, so be careful.

For those days when you only have a little bit of time and patience to cook, this recipe will fulfill your needs. It combines crawfish, spicy diced tomatoes, and rice for a quick and delicious meal. Serve with garlic bread on side. YUMMY!

This recipe is one of my family's all-time favorites! You may substitute crawfish for the shrimp and it turns out just as delicious. The tasso gives the sauce its wonderful smoky flavor. You can substitute smoked ham for the tasso but the smoky flavor may not be as intense.

This is one of our favorite recipes. It goes great with fried turkey, and makes a bunch. A combination of Cajun ingredients makes for a delicious dressing.

If you've ever been to Brenda's French Soul Food in San Francisco, you know how delicious these things are, and for those who haven't, prepare yourself for a mouthful of awesome! I'm not sure the exact measurements they use, but this is my personal version that comes pretty close to the real thing. Looking forward to your feedback and hope you all enjoy!

This soup is a staple in several New Orleans restaurants. If you don't like it spicy do not use the Creole seasoning, just add more salt and pepper. Serve with salad and garlic bread. It's easy and delicious!

Individual servings of crawfish braised with fresh mushrooms in butter and white wine, then spiced with red pepper flakes. Great for an appetizer or as a side dish.

Every spring I do a crawfish boil and every year I think there has got to be an easier way. It takes 30 minutes to get the stockpot full of water to come to a boil and then the crawfish require 30 minutes of soaking, which results in overcooked potatoes and corn. This year I was determined to simplify the process and set out looking for an Instant Pot® method online. There were plenty of recipes that called for frozen crawfish but I couldn't find one single one that used live crawfish. Challenge accepted!

Great crawfish starter dish for those leftover tails after a crawfish boil.

Stuffed with four kinds of cheese, crawfish, bacon, and sausage, then dipped in beer batter and fried golden brown, these jalapenos will be a favorite at your next gathering!

A creamy Southern/Cajun twist on a classic.

I LOVE CRAWFISH!!!! If you love crawfish and creamy pasta meals - you'll love this recipe. I made it for my husband and I ended up making it for his crew at work too!

This is a recipe that is meant to be shared, particularly by lovers or those embarking on a newly-formed relationship. It quick and easy and leaves time for more shall we say 'interesting indulgences' afterwards. Enjoy with some baked sweet potato fries! Add a simple salad, or grilled vegetables with a nice semi-sweet wine and have a wonderful evening. Have Fun!

This works well for a quick supper or light lunch with the ladies. A blend of pasta, herbed dressing, crawfish and veggies.

Every party demands a great dip, right? Whether it's chips and salsa or a simple veggie dip. This quick and easy crawfish dip is a definite crowd pleaser! C'mon and dip baby dip!

It's yummy! My husband and son love it. I got the etouffee recipe from a Cajun friend of mine. It's quick and simple. I decided to serve in a bread boat to recreate a favorite dish from a local restaurant. I serve it with a salad.

I made this for Easter and got a family request to make it again for Mother's Day. These amounts are for the family, so it makes quite a bit. The time took longer for me because of the amount of shrimp I had to peel, but if you cut this recipe down, it won't take you so long. This time I also included crawfish. Oh ya'll gotta try it! Enjoy!

This fresh corn dish is a Cajun favorite you won't see much outside of Louisiana. Every time I make this for people they love it. You can leave out the crawfish for a vegetarian side dish, or you can substitute fresh shrimp if crawfish is hard to find.

Fall acorn squash roasted with warm spices, butter, and brown sugar. Finished with fresh basil and Louisiana Crawfish tails.

I have used this recipe for years with my family at our gatherings and they all love it!

This recipe has a little kick to it which my family loves. I typically serve with a salad and a glass of white wine. I hope you enjoy it!
