    Blackened catfish with crawfish cream sauce

    due to popular demand i've been asked to post this recipe

    any seafood could be substituted ... crab, shrimp, lobster, etc... (if lobster, dice it into small peices)

    here is my recipe ..... also watch the video below

    Servings
    : 4 servings
    Prep: 15 mins
    Total: 45 mins

    Ingredients
    4 fillets catfish ( redfish or trout also works well )
    4 tablespoons blackening spice
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 tablespoons butter
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
    2 tablespoons chopped garlic
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/2 cup diced Tasso sausage
    3 cups heavy cream
    1 16-ounce package crawfish tail meat, rinsed and drained
    Garnish: chopped tomatoes and chopped fresh basil


    Directions

    1. Place fillets in a shallow bowl. Generously coat both sides with blackening spice.
    2. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Gently place fillets in skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until fillets flake easily with a fork. Transfer fillets to plates and keep warm.
    3. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel. Return skillet to medium heat. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add salt, pepper, tasso, and heavy cream; reduce heat to medium low. Continue to cook, whisking often, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Stir in crawfish meat; cook until heated through.
    4. Evenly divide sauce among catfish fillets. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and chopped fresh basil, if desired.

        Do you make your own blackening spice or buy it? Always wanted to make blackened catfish but did not know where to get the seasoning.

                              best blackin seasoning?

                              Been doing this for 20 yrs. and tried them all.

                              The best is the man that invented it.
