Crawfish boil guest appetizer

Gazpacho garnished with shrimp
Shrimp and corn bisque
Fresh fruit salsa
Layered smoked salmon spread

Look in the TD cookbook for crabmeat layered dip. I make it with shrimp quite often. It goes far and it gets eaten.

I love deviled eggs, so I agree with that suggestion as well.

Kartchner’s Boudin Dip

Ingredients
• 1 lb cold Kartchner’s boudin
• 1 tablespoon Kartchner’s All-Purpose Seasoning
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 8 oz sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup green onion chopped and divided
• Favorite chip for dipping

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5 baking dish with cooking spray, then set aside.
2. Prepare boudin by removing casing and crumbling into small pieces. Once crumbled, set boudin aside.
3. Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer + large bowl), mix cream cheese and sour cream on medium speed until smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Add cheddar cheese, half of green onions, and boudin to bowl, then use a spatula to thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
5. Pour dip into prepared baking dish, spreading out and pressing it into an even layer.
6. Bake dip for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve immediately with remaining green onion garnished on top.

Doubtful this is what you want to bring, but we get finger sandwich trays for every crawfish boil we host and they are entirely eaten in full every single time.

It’s easy to eat and helps folks feel like they had a more balanced/full meal.

Crawfish dip.

Beat me to the boudin dip. Simple to make and there’s never anything leftover. This is the correct answer.
My recipe is very simple.
This is for one serving (feeds 6-10 people)
1lb boudin out of casing
One 8oz container sour cream
One block cream cheese
1lb pack shredded pepperjack.
Soften cream cheese then combine everything in a bowl. I usually put it in a disposable aluminum pan and smoke it for an hour or so but could do in oven. When done sprinkle the top with your favorite Cajun season.
Always a crowd favorite.

Coctail shrimp or crab claws. Devilled eggs topped with good caviar, smoked salmon crostinis with boursin, whipped cream cheese and lump crab mold. Man I love good party snacks:)
