Makes 4 servings

 

 

If freshly shucked corn is unavailable, frozen is an acceptable substitute, and canned will work. If using canned, use 2 cans (14.75 ounces each) of whole and 1 can cream-style (14.75 ounces).

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 8 ears of corn, shucked (about 4 to 5 cups)
  • 1/4 of a 10 ounce can of RO*TEL tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 12 ounces crawfish tails, cooked and peeled
  • 3/4 ounce pimentos
  • Cooked rice

 

Instructions:

 

Melt butter in a medium sized pot. Add onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic and sauté over medium heat for 8 minutes. Fold in corn and cook an additional 15 minutes. Remove about 1/4 of the corn mixture from the pot and puree it in a food processor. Return the pureed corn to the pot. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for approximately 8 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice.
