Crawfish Bisque

Rarely do you see crawfish bisque on a restaurant menu or even made by home cooks. It’s a project. One that is totally worth it. Each step is easy, but there are quite a few steps. But oh! The result. Nothing else can compare. Make it on a rainy Sunday or in between movies or a game. Or just because. This recipe is adapted from the TABASCO® brand Original Red Sauce website.

Take your time. Put on some tunes ( a great Louisiana playlist is below.) I created the playlist for my daughter’s wedding rehearsal dinner. Lots of Yankees and Brits. Six pounds each of LA crawfish tails for étouffée and boudin (from Kartchner’s) for the appetizer. We needed one suitcase just for the goods and my knives and kitchen essentials. Cooked for 25 in an AirBnB cabin in Plymouth, Mass. Such a joy!!! What a lovely wedding. Such a wonderful marriage. Happy, happy, happy!
