with Crawfish Au Gratin Sauce
Ingredients
Crawfish Au Gratin Sauce
7 T butter
3/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 T minced garlic
5 T flour
1 T sugar
1/8 t dried basil
Pinch dried thyme
1 T Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Seasoning
3 cups milk
1/4 cup white wine
4 oz American cheese, cubed
1 lb peeled crawfish tails
2 T sliced green onions

4 (4 oz) catfish filets
Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Seasoning
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups Slap Ya Mama Cajun Fish Fry
Canola Oil
For the sauce: In a 12" skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onions, peppers and garlic until wilted. Add the flour and stir until a blond roux is achieved, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sugar, basil, thyme and Slap Ya Mama Original Blend. Add the milk and wine and cook over medium heat until the milk thickens, stirring constantly. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts and fully incorporates into the sauce. Add the crawfish tails and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes.
For the catfish: Sprinkle the catfish filets with Slap Ya Mama Original Blend. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Dip the catfish filets in the milk/egg mixture and then coat with
Slap Ya Mama Fish Fry. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large skillet. Fry the catfish until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Plate the catfish, spoon the Au Gratin Sauce over the filet and sprinkle a few green onions over the top to finish it off. Enjoy!
