Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • celery, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 pounds cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • cayenne pepper to taste
  • hot sauce to taste
  • 12 puff pastry shells

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat, then stir in flour; cook until light brown, about 10 minutes. Add sweet onion, green pepper, celery, and green onions. Cover and simmer on low heat for about one hour, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in vegetable broth and tomato paste, and cook until it reaches a creamy consistency. Mix in crawfish tails, garlic, and parsley, then cook for about 15 minutes or until the tails are tender. Stir in salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce.
  3. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the puff pastry shells for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they puff up and start to brown a little. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Pull off center tops and save. Turn oven down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Spoon mixture into puff pastry shells until slightly overfilled. Put extra filling into a pie dish and cover with the remaining puff pastry shell center tops to create 6 small pies and 1 large crawfish pie. Place pies on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the shells are golden brown and the filling has a nice shine to it.
