Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil the crawfish in a large pot of water. Drain the crawfish and allow to cool so that they can be handled easily.
  2. Remove the tail meat and save the head and shells. Place the tail meat in your refrigerator.
  3. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or a large saucepan. Add the crawfish heads and shells, paprika, and cayenne, and saute for 5 minutes. 
  4. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. Strain the liquid into a separate pan. Crush the heads and shells to extract any remaining liquid and add that liquid to the pan. Discard the shells. 
  6. Return to the heat and add bell pepper, onion, tomato, tomato paste, and cream. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring frequently. 
  7. Add the brandy and the crawfish meat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
