I have about 2 lbs of leftover tail meat from my boil yesterday. All peeled, along with some of the onions and garlic. I am tempted to make an etouffee with it. Any other suggestions? And I do need a good crawfish etouffee recipe or any other good recipes if anyone has one.

Etouffee for certain, but I love a good crawfish omelette. And crawfish pie, too.

So good

To OP:

I did crawfish mac n cheese and copycatted the Ruths Chris Lobster mac n cheese recipe and subbed the lobster with crawfish. Was ridiculous.

Can also make crawfish queso.

The last time I had leftovers from a boil, I made crawfish enchiladas, crawfish salad, crawfish & quinoa, and crawfish omelets.

I'd give you the crawfish enchilada recipe, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. They were good, but not delicious.

My favorite thing was the crawfish and quinoa, especially the second day, after the quinoa soaked up more crawfish flavor. Did you harvest lots of the fat, as well? That is key.

crawfish pie is basically etouffee, but baked in pie crust. I actually dont like making the big crawfish pies, I like putting them in smaller muffin tins for bite-sized crawfish pies.

Cajun Ninja on youtube has a good crawfish enchilada recipe

I did this for the first time last spring and it is a definite thing to do every year when I have extra crawfish from a boil.

Well, that and some real crawfish bisque which I do make a few gallons of every year.

I checked out the video of ATB Soup and made it after I had about 3 lbs. of tail meat leftover, along with corn, potatoes, garlic, onions, sausage, etc. That shite is the bomb.

I love making a macque choux with the leftovers if corn is there as well. Add andouille.

Check out the etouffee recipe in the recipe collection. The one from the Plantation Cookbook. It's money.

Anyone ever do tacos? I imagine dressing them up like a shrimp taco would be pretty good

Me and the Ol Girl have been doing this for years.
Works even better after a shrimp boil.

IDK even know what this tastes like, but I found it looking for Emeril’s Crawfish Imperial recipe (which is REALLY good)...

I chop all the leftovers (with potatoes, garlic, onions, whatever other vegetables) in a food processor just enough to cut them down a couple times then make patties and fry them like crab cakes
