Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
Pastry
- 8 (4 inch square) pastry sheets
- Slap Ya Mama Jambalaya Dinner Mix, cooked according to box directions
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sherry wine
- 8 leaves fresh basil, thinly sliced for garnish
Crawfish Sherry Cream Sauce
- 3/4 pound crawfish tail meat, strained and juices reserved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
- 2 cups sherry wine
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Pastry
- Roll out pastry sheets and cut them in even squares, about 4 x 4 inches. Add a spoonful of prepared Slap Ya Mama Jambalaya Dinner Mix right in the middle of each pastry sheet. Fold the square pastry from corner to corner, making a triangle shape.
- In a small bowl, combine eggs and 1 tablespoon of sherry wine; mix well to make an egg wash. Brush each folded pastry with egg wash. Place pastries on a baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Crawfish Sherry Cream Sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter, garlic, shallots and sauté for 2 minutes. Add brandy and flambé (ignite) (optional). Add sherry wine and about a 1/4 cup of the juices reserved from the package of crawfish; cook until reduce by half. Add vegetable broth and heavy whipping cream and cook until reduced by half. When the sauce is at a smooth consistency, stir in remaining butter and mix well. Serve as soon as possible.
Plating
- Place a baked pastry on a plate and generously spoon the crawfish sherry cream sauce over the top of the pastry. Top pastry with basil, serve and enjoy.
Notes
If sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little chicken broth. If sauce is too thin, thicken it up with a slurry, 50/50, mixture of sherry wine and cornstarch.
