Cajun Crawfish Cornbread
Ingredients
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1/3 cup chopped jalapeno pepper
  • 1 pound peeled crawfish tails
  • 1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the designated temperature, 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a thin layer of grease. A 9x13-inch dish is ideal for this recipe.
3
To create the foundation of your cornbread, combine three dry ingredients - cornmeal, baking soda, and salt - in a spacious container.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, onion, green pepper, pimentos, vegetable oil, Cheddar cheese, cream-style corn, jalapeno pepper, crawfish tails, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is harmoniously blended.
5
Merge the two mixtures - the cornmeal mixture and the crawfish mixture - to create a unified blend.
6
Pour this combined mixture into your prepared baking dish and place it in the preheated oven.
7
Bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until your cornbread is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Finally, allow your cornbread to rest for around 10 minutes before serving.
