Mini Crawfish Pies
Ingredients:
8 Tbsp. (1 stick) butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tsp salt
½ tsp Cajun Chef Cayenne Red Pepper
½ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp paprika
2 Tbsp cornstarch (dissolved into 1 cup water)
1 lb peeled Crawfish Tails (Louisiana)
1 bunch finely chopped green onions
1 Tbsp ZATARAINS Parsley Flakes
4 dozen bite-sized, pre-baked patty shells
Steps:
Preheat oven to 350°. Heat butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring until they are soft, about 6 minutes. Add salt, cayenne pepper and white pepper, and reduce to medium-low heat. Add tomato paste and paprika and let mixture bubble for a few minutes. Add dissolved cornstarch and cook until a fine glaze appears on the mixture. Add the crawfish, green onions and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about ten minutes. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Spoon the mixture into pre-baked patty shells and bake until golden brown, five to eight minutes. Serve warm.
