Crawfish And Corn Over Smoked Gouda Potatoes Recipes

CRAWFISH AND CORN OVER SMOKED GOUDA POTATOES

Steps:

• To prepare potatoes, place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return potatoes to pan; add milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mash potato mixture with a potato masher to desired consistency. Stir in cheese. Keep warm.
• To prepare crawfish, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes. Stir in corn; saute 2 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, red pepper, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and crawfish; saute 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat; stir in green onions. Serve crawfish mixture over mashed potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.

CRAWFISH AND CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over low heat, and stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly to make a light roux, about 5 minutes.
• Add onions, and cook until wilted. Pour in milk, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, and cream of potato soup. Season with Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, and salt. Stir to blend, and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. Add the crawfish, and cook for 20 more minutes.

SMOKED GOUDA CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Season corn with salt and roast corn in oven on sheet pan until slightly golden brown edges.
• In large soup pot, using medium heat, sauté onion and celery in butter until onions become tender and translucent.
• Add garlic and thyme.
• Add flour to make a thick paste (in pot roux).
• Cook roux for 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat. Add milk, and whisk together thoroughly to prevent lumps.
• Add bay leaves and roasted corn.
