Cajun Crawfish Casserole

  

Casserole before it's baked.

 

A dear friend, Charlie Barritt, shared this recipe with me.  It’s bursting with flavor and super easy.   

1 lb. package frozen crawfish tails or shrimp  

3/4 stick of butter  

1 large onion, diced  

3 green onions..tops and bottoms  

2 ribs of celery, chopped  

2 Anaheim peppers or 1 bell pepper, chopped  

4 toes garlic, chopped  

1/4 Tsp cayenne pepper  

1/4 Tsp black pepper  

1 can cream of shrimp soup  (or homemade shrimp soup – recipe is in this blog – super easy and quick!)  

1 cup fine bread crumbs  

Chop your vegetables, saute’ until clear, add crawfish tails and cook 5 minutes – take off heat and stir in remaining ingredients.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.  Let stand for 10 minutes.  Very moist.  

Charlie uses Anaheim peppers for a little extra kick.
