Crawfish Pie
« on: June 14, 2008, 12:55:36 PM »
Crawfish Pie

4   tablespoons butter
1   cup onions, chopped
1/2   cup bell pepper, chopped
1/2   cup celery, chopped
1-1/2   teaspoon salt
1/2   teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4   teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2   cup canned tomatoes, chopped
1   pound crawfish tails, peeled, defrosted if frozen, or substitute shrimp
2   tablespoons parsley, chopped
2   tablespoons flour
1   cup water
   pie crust, for double-crust pie, or Pillsbury boxed pie crust

Preheat oven to 400.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onions, bell pepper, celery, salt, cayenne and black pepper.  Sauté for about 8 minutes, or until golden and wilted.
Add tomatoes and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add crawfish and parsley.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes.
Dissolve flour in water and add to pan.  Stir for 2 minutes, or until mixture thickens.  Remove from heat.  Let cool for at least 30 minutes.  Meanwhile place pastry in 9-inch pan.
Pour crawfish mixture into prepared unbaked pie shell.  Top with second pie crust and crimp edges to seal.  Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden.  Cool for several minutes before serving.

I use the refrigerated Pillsbury pie crusts. 

It's very filling.  You can use as much or less cayenne for spicyness.

If you make crawfish bisque, I am headed your way. Have not had that in many years. That is very time consuming.

I have no plans to eat a crawfish even if it includes pie.

I'll have to try this one. I lived in Louisanna in my youth. I love their cuisine. Thanks
