Ingredients

1-2 lbs crawfish tails or shrimp

2 1/2 stick butter or margarine

2 ounces margarine for brushing

3 medium onions diced

1 small stalk of celery or 6 ribs chopped fine

1 cup bell pepper chopped fine

1 tbsp garlic cloves minced

3/4 cup chopped parsley

1 cup chopped green onions

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

8 ounces Velveeta cheese

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne or more (optional)

Cajun Seasonings (optional) you can use your own seasonings if you dont want the cajun seasoning

hot sauce to taste (optional)

2 bags Pistolette Rolls (24) or dinner rolls that are large enough to be stuffed

It may look hard but these are not hard to make..

Directions

First prepare the pistolettes rolls; cut a hole into one end of the roll and take out the inside.

In medium saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and sauté the onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic until onions have wilted.

Add the seasonings along with the cans of cream of mushroom

Add the Velveeta cheese and stir until completely melted.

Add the crawfish/shrimp to the mixture.

Note - you could chop the crawfish/shrimp into smaller pieces as in a dip. Bring to a boil then simmer about 10 minutes.

Do not forget to stir to prevent scorching.

You could choose to add more or less cheese to achieve your desired "pudding" consistency. NOTE: IF THE MIXTURE IS TOO THICK YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE EVAPORATED MILK, TO THIN IT OUT SOME BUT YOU DONT WANT IT TOO THIN

Add the parsley last (right before you place the filling in the roll)

while warm, not hot, fill the pocket of the bun with the filling

Stuffed Pistolettes may now be baked at 375 degrees F until golden brown about 20 minutes.

If deep frying, drop into heated cooking oil until browned. Make sure there is enough oil to cover the pistolettes. Drain fried pistolettes on paper towels; serve hot.

If baking the rolls spread butter on the top before putting in the oven
