Serves: 20 poppers
Ingredients
20 jalapeno peppers
1 tbsp butter
1 pound crawfish meat
1 onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp cajun seasoning
1½ cup cream cheese
1½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
Core the jalapeno peppers.
Saute the butter, onion and garlic until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the crawfish and cajun seasoning. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring so all the crawfish are cooked. Cool completely. Remove 20 crawfish and set aside. If desired, you can chop/mince the crawfish mixture that is to be mixed with the cheese. This healps spread the crawfish throughout the cheese mixture and makes it easier to stuff the peppers.
Make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and crawfish mixture.
Fill the peppers with the filling and top with a crawfish.
Bake in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes.
Serve hot.
