  3. 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
  4. 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 pound fresh crawfish tail meat
  7. 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  8. 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 4 single-serving clay pots or souffle dishes.
  2. In a pan set over medium-low heat, add the butter and oil. Add in the onions, green peppers and garlic and saute until the onions are transparent. Add the crawfish, seafood seasoning and red pepper, and cook 2 minutes stirring frequently. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted, then add the half-and-half. Add half of the asiago and stir.
  3. Cut the puff pastry to fit the shape of the serving dishes, and then set aside.
  4. Divide the mixture into the prepared dishes. Sprinkle with remaining asiago, then place the puff pastry on top. Brush the egg wash over the pastry, then bake until the tops are golden, 15 minutes. Serve hot.

I am making this as I type! Just put it in the oven. The sauce is really good! I added shrimp to the recipe, this will be our first time trying crawfish. Publix only had whole crawfish, so I had to peel them. I also used a baking dish instead of the small individual souffle dishes. Cant wait to taste it! Thanks for the recipe!

Looks great! BUT there was hair in the cream cheese, so I’ll be sure to omit that extra ingredient when I make this.

None of us in my house had ever tried crawfish before. I was actually surprised that Walmart in Utah carried crawfish tails! My twin 8 year old boys, my husband, and I were all totally in love with this dish. Rich, creamy, decadent, dinner. It made just enough for the four of us, with no leftovers. I just need shorter bowls… my crust sank into the mix. It was still very good, though. I already have requests to make it again. Thanks for sharing with us, Kardea!

Excellent! Made with frozen crawfish I bought at Whole Foods. It also reheated well the next day by heating it up in the oven!

Walmart has crawfish in the freezer seafood section

Hands down amazing! My Whole Foods did not have Crawfish so I substituted Crab. I also substituted low fat Cream Cheese to lower the fat content. Loved it. I think I might make it again and add pasta and forgo the “pot pie”. The sauce is so good!
