With crawfish now in season in Cajun country, you might say that I'm getting carried away with making crawfish dishes. This delectable cornbread is fabulous and when I tell you that it's divine, then you know that I mean it, cher! And if crawfish are not available in your area, then small shrimp would work just as well. Enjoy!
Spicy Crawfish Cornbread
1 tsp. salt
2 cups yellow cornmeal
3 tsp.'s. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 (15 oz.) can cream-style corn
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb. peeled crawfish tails or small shrimp
1 tbs.Cajun seasoning
Stir together cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, in large bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the onions, peppers, vegetable oil, milk, cheddar cheese, cream style corn, jalapenos, crawfish or shrimp, and Cajun seasoning. Combine the mixture with the dry ingredients and place in a buttered 10 inch baking dish or cast iron skillet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and a knife comes out clean. Enjoy!
Wishing ya'll a fab weekend, filled with good times! Merci beaucoup for coming by!

I wish I could take a bite of that cornbread, it looks so delicious.
Lucky 15 guests!
Yet another mouth watering creation.
Have a great time.
Bev makes a killer Mexican cornbread (http://bigdudesramblings.blogspot.com/2010/10/chili-pie-and-muffuletta-pizza.html) and since this is very similar but with the Cajun flavors, I'm sure I'll love it when we try it soon.
I almost forgot, your party menu sounds very good - next time I'll try to come thru there at party time :-)
Eddie's right, lucky 15 guests! Adore cornbread and anything with crawfish! Thanks!
Hey, this is stuff I've never eaten before! I'm aware of Acadians an the are a fun musical people. I would try making this stuff but I would think we would have very few of the ingredients
Enjoy your blog and can read some of the french.
I so want to come live with you!:-)
That cornbread is to die for...as well as the other dishes.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, cher!
