Live in Boston now, parents brought up a ton of food for Xmas from Tony's. Have went through all the boudin, sausage, etc.... Now have 2 pounds of frozen crawfish tails that I want to make something with.

I have our sauce piquante recipe that I could use, but I was wondering what other recipes or thoughts people on here might have.

Crawfish Pie would be my #1. Etouffee, casadillas, and crawfish monica are also great.

I always make étouffée with leftover crawfish, but you can't go wrong with frying some up for poboys. I like them in an omelette, too.

A good grilled ribeye along with some crawfish etouffee on the side can be incredible.

Your crawfish bread looks awesome..Portobella's in BR sells it too, and there's is not very good and costs about $9 for a serving.

Thanks, but I think next time I'll make my own dough.

We are going to be streaming Jazz Fest throughout the house this weekend, so I'm liking the crawfish bread idea.

Probably do that for an appetizer and the ribeye with the etouffee for the entree.

Thanks for the ideas.

I was going to leave this alone (because I was hungry and didn't even want to think about it), but since everyone else has chimed in on it (and I've eaten lunch) I won't.

fricking gross. I mean seriously why in the heavenly frick would you do that? Sounds like some shitty special at a Monroe restaurant from like 15 years ago.

ETA: Since I should contribute something positive, my choice (outside of crawfish bread or crawfish pie) for the tails would be Emeril's Crawfish Imperial recipe.

gross?

Bread...good
steak...good
etoufee..good

I can understand not agreeing with it, but to call it gross is strange.

Both of my parents are full blooded Cajun (both from Abbeville) and I've never once seen a steak on top of anything or anything on top of a steak. Other people seem to think it sounds great, I think it sounds terrible. No biggie, that's why restaurants of all sorts succeed.
