I have a crazy Cajun neighbor here in TX and this is his recipe. Man is it ever good. You can use either shrimp or crawfish tails. He uses more butter than I do- probably why his is better- BUT mine is lower in fat.
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp or 1 lb crawfish tail, cleaned, peeled and deveined
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans low-fat cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) can rotel, diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, any color
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. In a large pot sauté yellow onion, green onion and bell pepper in butter until softened.
2. Note: You can use any color pepper. I use half of a red and half of a yellow pepper to add color.
3. Add soup and Rotel and stir to combine.
4. Turn to simmer and stir occasionally. It can just hang out on the stove on low until you are ready or you can proceed with the next step.
5. About 5 minutes before you are ready to eat add the shrimp and stir in to mix. If using crawfish add about 2 minutes before serving as they are already cooked.
6. Serve with some plain white rice and some good crusty buttered bread and you have a meal- You could add a salad but then you couldn't eat as much of 'dis here!
