Does she like crawfish cornbread?

Crawfish in Kommiefornis? She did do her internship at LSU. I wanted to use it tonight. I may have shrimp in the freezer. I am not opposed to improvising

Does she like crawfish cornbread?

Ingredients
2 Cups Cornmeal

12 Ounces Crawfish Tails

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Cup Canola Oil

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

3 Large Eggs

1 Medium Onion, Diced

1 Medium Bell Pepper, Diced

3 Jalapeño Peppers, Seeds Removed and Minced

1 1/2 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

3 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

3/4 Cup Green Onions, Chopped

Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning, to Taste

1 Box Tony’s Creole Étouffée Base Mix

2 1/2 Cups Cold Milk

3 Tablespoons Butter, Unsalted

1 Pound Crawfish Tails


Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and bell peppers for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and stir in jalapeños. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, 1 cup milk and canola oil until well combined. Stir wet mixture into the dry mixture slowly, until fully blended.
Add in the crawfish tails, cheddar cheese, green onions and sautéed vegetables, and stir into mixture.
Grease a baking pan or cast-iron skillet and top with the cornbread mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes – check doneness by sticking a fork or toothpick into the center to see if it comes out clean.
While the cornbread is baking, make the Tony’s Creole Étouffée Base Mix according to the instructions on the box.
Slice a piece of cornbread onto a plate and top with a ladle of étouffée. Garnish with more green onions and enjoy!

I could get them in southern tier of NY, but not around here as far as I know.

i'm sorry but we find these mudbugs on a regular basis in our yards. We actually mow down their holes.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

I am at 1800ft elevation. First year in 5 that I have seen creeks running naturally And they are running fast.3 miles away is 300ft elevation.
Think my chances of finding a mud bug is slim to none. Used to catch them in rocky bed flat creeks that I could walk up in NY

I had different plans for dinner tomorrow, but now crawfish is stuck in my mind. . . Going to make your recipe.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Went with Chorizo and a famous box Dirty Rice. When I get the 1/2 notice at 8:30, you gotta have something quick. The cornbread helped cut the spice

 

[Dani]

Made the crawfish cornbread and ettoufee this afternoon and sitting on the stove to cool down. Hunny’s already taken a big hunk out of the skillet.

 

[Mountain trapper]

We won't be home until after dinner tonight, so we'll grab something old and tasteless out of the deli at the grocery store.

 

[Cindyd]

Lasagna, salad, garlic bread, all variety of lettuce in salad is from our garden..lasagna is stouffers frozen since Larry is one made made it..lol

Personally, I'm having the salad..but if I wake up starving at midnight I'll likely dig out the leftover lasagna

You apparently have a better deli than @Arcticdude . . . Sorry Bud. It's hard to beat southern delis, especially the ones on the coast.

Amen to that sister!

All I can say about this deli is, it'll make a turd.

You'd have to go to a year round stream or lake to find a crawdad. I'm pretty sure that even California has crayfish. Some areas in Oregon and Idaho have crayfish much larger than down south. I know of at least one lake that has a commercial crayfish fishery.

Make sure they put it on toast! We know you like like toast too AC dude!

You are probably correct. Out of the 5 flowing within walking distance, the year round one is a torrent right now. The other 4 haven’t had water in the past 5 years. These all feed into the torrent. You of all people understand the situation.

Best shrimp Poboys I had were from a Cajun restaurant in Los Angeles China town. They bought an old Chinese restaurant because it had a smoker.
Place even made it onto Diners, Driveins, and Dives.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

I made us some Beef Wellington. So delicious!!

 

[Acdoctor]

I had Cajun chicken an rice soup with a couple pieces of non bread.

 

[Cindyd]

Even though it was hotter than blazes here today..I made big pot of beef stew and some cheesy bread. (Used copy cat recipe for domino's cheesy bread).

 

[Mountain trapper]

I think I'm coming down with something. The wife fixed me a cup of "sniffles" tea. I think I'm feeling better already.

 

[Cindyd]

On a roll wilith copy cat recipes this weekend...made "almost white castle burgers"...they actually turned out pretty good! Had twice baked potatoes on side....I'm getting to where I can't eat a baked potatoe unless it's twice baked with all the fixings in it..make them often. They are a meal all by themselves.

Tonight was a basic roasted chicken and gravey, but also had leftover carrots. Made a strawberry creamcheese pie for dessert

 

[Proud Prepper]

Cabbage stew. Finally cooked all the Cabbage.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Salmon. Honey, soy,garlic glazed. Red pepper flake, parsley, cilantro. I though some balsamic would add to it.
In retrospect, I would start the Sprouts 5 minutes earlier, then add the Salmon

I would have removed the salmon, let rest and put the sprouts back in oven for 5 minutes.

A pub up in Arlington VA that we frequent when visiting my son got us hooked on roasted Brussel sprouts. Normally I don't care too much for them, but roasted they are great!
