Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup butter
½ cup flour
1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
celery, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
½ cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 pounds cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
3 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste
12 puff pastry shells

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the shells are golden brown and the filling has a nice shine to it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I'll have to try it again.

I had some trouble finding crawfish, so I used shrimp instead. It turned out great!
