Crawfish Risotto x Cajun Butter Lobster Tails
Ingredients:
2 8 oz Lobster Tails
1 lb Crawfish Tails
4 Cups Cauliflower (Riced)
½ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
½ Cup Pepper Jack Cheese
½ Green Bell Pepper (Diced)
½ Red Bell Pepper (Diced)
¼ Yellow Onion (Diced)
1 Celery Stalk (Diced)
2 Tbs Garlic Herb Butter
1 Tbs Minced Garlic
1 Tbs Cajun Seasoning
½ Tbs Onion Powder
½ Tbs Garlic Pepper
½ Tbs Lemon Pepper
½ Tbs Herbs de Provence or Italian Seasoning
1 ½ Capful Liquid Crab Boil
Olive Oil
Non Stick Spray
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Instructions:
1. On medium heat, add olive oil to a pan and toss in peppers, onions, celery, and herbs de Provence. Give them a stir occasionally, and allow the vegetables to soften. This will take about 5-6 minutes. Remove the veggies and set aside.
2. Don’t clean out that pan, leave all that flavor inside. On medium heat, give the pan a generous amount of non-stick spray and add your riced cauliflower. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Don’t trip about the water that accumulated, just make sure to remove.
3. Season cauliflower rice with onion powder, garlic pepper, crab boil, and Cajun seasoning. After 2-3 additional minutes of cooking, add your crawfish and vegetables to the cauliflower rice, and allow it cook for a few more minutes, lets say 3-4 minutes.
4. Pour in heavy cream and increase heat to medium high. Stir often for 4-5 minutes, as your mixture will begin to thicken. Reduce temperature to medium low and add cheese and stir occasionally for an additional 3-4 minutes before removing from heat. Set aside
