A Must-Try Recipe- Cajun Crawfish Dip

With fall right around the corner I am sure your calendar is filling up fast. Whether it’s a football tailgate or a back-to-school party, you are surely in need of a great new recipe. Being from Louisiana, I thought I would share one of my Cajun favorites. It’s very easy and delicious!

Ingredients
Handful of diced shallots and onion
1/4 tsp. garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove
1 - lb. peeled crawfish
8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 stick of butter
Pinch of seasoning (salt, pepper, Tony’s, etc.)

In a large saucepan melt butter then add onion, garlic and shallots. Sauté' on a med-low fire until soft. Add crawfish and cook 3-4 minutes. Cut cream cheese into chunks and add to other ingredients in saucepan while stirring. Once cream cheese is melted, add cream of mushroom soup. Stir and season to your liking. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers or toasted garlic bread.
