I made this dish for our ANNUAL SUPERBOWL COOKOFF at work...... and WON HANDS DOWN!!

Excellent dish, if you like seafood!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>2 Full Cups of Crab Meat
>1/2 Pound of Crawdad Meat
>2 Cans of Evaporated Milk
>2 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
>1 Can Cream of Potato Soup
>1 Can Cream of Celery Soup
>4 Big Potatoes (cubed real small)
>Green Onions (just the green ends chopped - scallions)
>1/2 Stick of Butter
>Worcestershire Sauce (couple good dashes)
>Hot Sauce (a good dash)
>Garlic Powder (small dash)
>Zatarains Creole Seasoning (a bunch of dashes)
>Salt and Pepper to taste


You can pretty much cook all the ingredients together at one time. I cook the taters on the side till they are semi-soft first tho..... then into the crock pot it all goes!

As far as the crab meat.... Chicken of the Sea has LUMP CRAB MEAT, which I will break up and use as a filler for the BIG pot of stew. But I also bought PHILLIPS CRAB CLAW MEAT for the main chunky meat in the stew.

As for the Crawdad meat.... I buy the BAO LONG BRAND CRAWFISH TAILMEAT.

Wait a minute, you don't catch your own craws during the summer and freeze them to use later? Sounds good though.

Tried a version of this last night (because I could not find crawfish tails at Kroger)
VERY GOOD.
I also added scallops to it.
My wife didn't want to try it, so more for me!

Any suggestions where to find crawfish tails (in a store that is)
and also Zataran's creole seasoning. Also could not find

I got the tails at Marsh last time.

There are only a couple stores that has the Zataran Creole.... and I don't know which. My wife buys the normal stuff like that when grocery shopping. I'm only in charge of "specialty" items that I need for my recipes! laugh

Ditto on that. I have to get my own "special" items too. She also does not eat deer meat!

Sounds like the Zataran's creole is a liquid, not powder?
I will try Marsh and/or Wally **** for the tails.
Thanks

Well I got a crock pot batch of this going now. I'm a fan of the Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning so that's what I used. Walmart had a bunch of frozen crawfish tails. These were 12oz packages so I dumped the whole 3/4 pounds in laugh

I'm gonna have to try this recipe. I have three pounds of crawdads in the freezer that I trapped in four hours Friday night. If I use em, it'll give me an excuse to go out an extra time beofre I have a crawdad boil.

Hey BowBo,
I just fixed your Crab and Crawdad Stew here at the firehouse tonight (Beech Grove FD). It was awesome and all the guys loved it. We made a big batch of sweet cornbread to go along with it. I followed the recipe to a T, except I added a diced Vidalia Onion to the pot. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I would not dispute this as an award winning dish. I just proved it tonight! Thanks again.

I had to bring this one back to the top. I needed the ingredients again for this years deer camp.

Sorry BOWBO but I'm gonna modify it. When my bro gets here from New England I'm gonna substitute the crab with fresh Maine Lobster.

I've made numerous batches since Bow has posted this. Yep, Wally has everything right down to the crawdad tails.

One time I used fresh lobster instead.

Same results here! every time I make it people freak out and want the recipe.

Some good stuff!!!

Thanks Bowbo


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
