Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion diced
  • 1 Small Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 10oz Can Cream of Shrimp Soup
  • 1 10oz Can Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 2-½ lb cooked Crawfish Tails
  • 3 Cups Cooked Rice
  • 1 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs
  • 2 Cups Freshly Grated Mature Cheddar Cheese divided

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Add the butter, diced onion and bell pepper to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until wilted.
  • Add the Old Bay Seasoning and stir well.
  • Add to a large mixing bowl, along with the crawfish tails, cooked rice, breadcrumbs, cheese soup, shrimp soup and one cup of the grated cheddar.
  • Mix well until evenly mixed then transfer to a 9x13" Casserole Dish, lightly sprayed with cooking oil.
  • Top with the remaining 1 cup of grated cheddar.
  • Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes (or until nicely bubbling around all sides).
  • Remove and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

We use crawfish tails leftover from our crawfish boil, which means they are well seasoned. It's what I used in this recipe. If you find yourself using store-bought frozen crawfish tails I recommend adjusting the seasoning accordingly. You'll probably need more.
