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.

Frozen crawfish tail meat, or with shells? If the meat is still in the shell, you can do just about any crawfish dish. Peel the tails and use the shells/legs for a stock.

If it's just meat, I'd fry em up, as someone recommended earlier. Or crawfish bread. You could do crawfish pie, but it wont have a strong crawfish flavor without some stock.

I would try to find some fresh tails to mix with them for a preparation of pies/etouffee. The flavor palate of plain frozen tails is a bit screwy just to inform you.

Sauteed Crawfish Tails

Sautee with butter, sherry, garlic pepper, black pepper. Put over piece of toast. Easy and delicious. Enjoy

Crawfish Spaghetti - if you make a good tomato gravy and meat balls, not a store-bought sauce. Make the gravy much more spicy than usual. Instead of meatballs add the crawfish to the gravy making sure to get every last molecule of crawfish fat out of the bag and into the pot and let cook until the crawfish are cooked. Turn it off and let it sit while you cook the noodles and prepare the side dishes.
Thank me later.
