Pan Fried Catfish With A Crawfish Cream Sauce

In Louisiana we have 5 seasons Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and CRAWFISH SEASON. Any Louisianan can tell you when they’re coming, when to get the big ones, and when the price per pound will drop. I’m pretty sure most of us learned to peel crawfish before we learned our ABCs.  I mean it was either they teach us or spend the entire crawfish boil peeling crawdads for us tiny tots. Today I’m going to share a recipe with this local delicacy ( already peeled like ya mom and dem use to do for ya )..

Cook other side the same.  Once your filets are completely cooked remove from skillet and turn skillet down to low-med heat. Do NOT clean the skillet lol. Place remaining 2 tbsp butter in skillet along with the minced garlic and cloves. Stir around enough to get the debris from the bottom of skillet. Add in your crawfish tails . Let those simmer down for just a minute. Stir in your heavy whipping cream . Cook down for a few minutes ( until cream begins bubbling real nice ) .
