Crawfish and Bell Peppers

Crawfish and Bell Peppers
(Makes 12)

Ingredients:
 

1 lb. cleaned crawfish tails
1 ½ -2 sticks butter
1 loaf French bread (very dry)
3 medium onions, chopped
2 stalks celery (1/2 cup)
2 chopped bell peppers
4 shallots
Parsley


Directions:

Melt butter.  Add chopped onions, celery and green peppers.  Glaze, then add crawfish tails and fat.  Cover and simmer 10 minutes.  Add bread that has been crumbled in enough water to moisten it thoroughly, then squeeze out.  Stir into crawfish.  Continue stirring and cooking until dry enough to stuff into bell peppers that have been cleaned, cut in half, and scalded.  Stuff, sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs and bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes.  Will stuff 12 bell pepper halves.
