  • 2. in a small sauce pan heat tomato soup on low to medium heat, worchestershire sauce and tabasco to tomato soup. in the meantime, dissolve the gelatin in 3/4 cup water (or more if needed). once soup is hot enough add in cream cheese and melt until dissolved, add in gelatin and mix well. after soup mixture is done pour in bowl with crawfish, onion tops, parsley and mayonnaise... mix well.

  • 4. once firm, remove from refrigerator and put on a serving plate.... if hard to remove from pan, put in warm water for about 30 seconds just to loosen bottom. I return to refrigerator until ready to serve.... great with ritz crackers

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose Fresh Seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your seafood mold will taste. If you can, try to buy seafood that was caught or harvested within the last 24 hours.
  • Clean and Prepare the Seafood Properly: Make sure to clean and prepare the seafood properly before cooking. This includes removing any bones, shells, or veins.
  • Use a Variety of Seafood: Don't be afraid to use a variety of seafood in your mold. This will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Good Quality Mold: A good quality mold will help you create a beautiful and evenly cooked seafood mold.
  • Serve the Seafood Mold with a Variety of Sauces: Serve the seafood mold with a variety of sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon butter sauce.
