Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix

 

Made Christmas sausage balls with this mix but today was first time for the cheese biscuits themselves with the crawfish etouffee. Very good. Would make again.

Crawfish Etouffee 2026

 

1 pkg. crawfish tails with fat. 1 cup onion, celery, bell pepper. 3 cloves garlic. 2 cups chicken broth/stock. 1/4 cup parsley. Salt, pepper, cayenne. Roux with 1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup flour. Once crawfish added, simmer 20 minutes.

Add parsley last ten minutes of cooking. I added too much dried parsley this time but it won't hurt anything.
