Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crawfish Pistolettes Delight.
Step 1
Begin by melting a quarter cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, toss in finely chopped onions, green bell pepper, green onions, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Stir occasionally, allowing the onions to soften and turn translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Next, pour in evaporated milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Gradually add cubed processed cheese, stirring until it melts into a creamy sauce.
Step 6
Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm and inviting.
Step 7
In a separate large skillet, melt half a teaspoon of butter over medium heat.
Step 8
Introduce the cooked crawfish tails, seasoning them with Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 9
Stir frequently until the tails are heated through and start to curl, which will take around three to five minutes.
Step 10
Fold the crawfish into the cheese sauce and let it simmer together for an additional five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 11
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
Step 12
Carefully place the pistolette rolls into the hot oil, frying them until they achieve a golden brown hue on all sides.
Step 13
Once fried, transfer the rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 14
When the rolls are cool enough to handle, cut a slit in one end to create a pocket.
Step 15
Use the handle of a spoon to gently widen this pocket, then generously stuff each roll with the delicious crawfish mixture.
Step 16
Serve these delightful creations immediately for a truly satisfying experience.
Step 17
Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!.
