Y’all, let me tell you about this mouthwatering midnight snack that’ll make you want to kiss your diet goodbye! As a Louisiana girl who knows her way around the kitchen, I’m about to share my secret recipe for what I like to call “Midnight Bayou Bites” – and honey, these are absolutely to die for!
Picture this: It’s way past bedtime, you’re binge-watching your favorite show, and those hunger pangs hit hard. Instead of reaching for those boring ol’ potato chips, why not whip up something that’ll make your taste buds do a little happy dance?
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth getting up for):
– 1 cup of leftover crawfish (or shrimp if you’re in a pinch)
– 4 slices of thick-cut French bread
– 2 tablespoons of melted butter
– 3 tablespoons of cream cheese, softened
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– Cajun seasoning (y’all know I like it spicy!)
– Green onions for garnish
Now, let me walk you through this magical creation, sugar:
1. First, toast those bread slices until they’re golden brown. We want them crispy enough to hold our masterpiece!
2. Mix that cream cheese with minced garlic and a generous shake of Cajun seasoning (Don’t be shy with it, cher!)
3. Warm up your crawfish in a pan with that melted butter until heated through
4. Spread your seasoned cream cheese on the toast
5. Top with warm crawfish and sprinkle with more Cajun seasoning
6. Garnish with green onions
