Crawfish Cornbread

"This recipe was in our local paper during the holidays. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. I have had a commercially made version of this and it was fairly good but I think homemade anything is much better! Hope you'll give it a try and let me know how you like it. Edited: I finally made this and it is a wonderful recipe. Many people don't have crawfish, so I think lightly boiled shrimp could easily be substituted for the crawfish. Also, 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning could be added for an extra kick."

  1. Mmm, mmmm good! DH loved it!! I used a drained can of Niblets corn instead of cream corn, and seasoned the crawfish with some Tony Chachere's creole seasoning and a little garlic salt before adding it to the cornbread batter. Trying to reduce prep time, I went for pre-shredded cheddar cheese. Thanks for sharing, it's a definite keeper!!
     
  2. This was an easy recipe & it turned out, beautifully! I'll probably, add a small amount of sugar, next time & it was done, in 30 mins. I paired this w/ a pot of homemade red beans 'n rice & it was delicious! With our leftovers, tonight, I am going to serve some fried okra.

  3. First time I've ever made crawfish cornbread. OMG! This is super delicious. I made just a few changes. Sautéed bell pepper, green onions and yellow onion in 2 Tbs butter. Then added crawfish tails and cooked for a few minutes. Added a little more creole seasoning and garlic powder. And a can of drained corn niblets. Yummy!
     
  4. This is a great recipe. It's quite sound and leaves no room for error. My brother-in-law told me that he saw someone making crawfish cornbread on TV and asked me if I would make him a version of it. My sister does not do seafood at all. So, I researched several recipes and came across this one. I liked the distribution of ingredients as opposed to some recipes that only called for one cup of cornmeal. The only thing I did differently was season the crawfish tails with Old Bay before adding them to the batter. It made the cornbread more savory and flavorful. This is definitely my go to recipe for crawfish cornbread.
     
  5. This is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD!!! I only used one small jalapeno, as I'm not much of a pepper fan. My brother came over for leftovers and I caught him in the kitchen scraping the pan and licking the spoon. The recipe is easy and is as good, or better than any other recipe I've used for crawfish cornbread. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
