Crawfish Zerpa was the grand prize winner in the 1986 Times-Picayune Cooking Contest, created by Jacqueline S. Keller. I'm guessing at preparation time.

Ingredients

1 lb peeled crawfish tail
2 slices bread
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and cayenne pepper
1 (6 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup crawfish stock
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
salt and cayenne pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
paprika

Steps:

*To make crawfish stock: Boil crawfish peelings with a little dry sherry (or water), garlic, onion juice, celery seed and a dab of butter. Strain. May be frozen for future use.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place tails and bread in food processor. Pulsate until coarsely ground. Set aside. Melt butter and add flour, stirring constantly. Add half and half gradually and let mixture simmer until reduced to 1 cup. Add reserved crawfish mixture and seasonings to half and half.
Boil macaroni in salted water until al dente. Stir gently while cooking to keep shells apart. Drain. Cool enough to handle. Stuff each shell with a heaping tablespoon of crawfish mixture, closing shell over filling.

Place small amount on bottom of casserole dish or individual ramekins coated with nonstick spray. Place stuffed shells in dish, pouring remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan and paprika. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 5 minutes.

CRAWFISH ZERPA (STUFFED SHELLS)

Crawfish Zerpa (Stuffed Shells) image

Are you looking for something different, yet not too difficult to wow your friends at dinner? Well, here it is. Shrimp may be substituted. Crawfish Zerpa was the grand prize winner in the 1986 Times-Picayune Cooking Contest, created by Jacqueline S. Keller. This is a very rich and absolutely FABULOUS dish, crying out to be served at your next dinner party. It's not called for in the recipe but I like to add chopped green onions and fresh parsley just before serving. Serve with a big green salad tossed with a simple herb vinaigrette, and hot French bread and perhaps a nice Beaujolais. Bon Appetit, y'all!

Crawfish Boil. A classic dish served throughout Louisiana, the crawfish boil is usually prepared for get-togethers and parties with family and friends, and tends to consist of a large pot where everyone can help themselves.
Crawfish Etouffee. Drawing strongly on the French heritage of the state, crawfish etouffee is a popular dish throughout Louisiana. Literally translating to ‘smothered’ or ‘stuffed’ in French, this is a common dish in Creolo and Cajun cuisine, and consists of seafood cooked with rice.
Crawfish Fettuccine. Adding a little Italian influence to a classic Louisiana ingredient, this crawfish fettuccine takes a classic pasta dish and combines it with fresh crawfish and herbs to create a creamy, comforting dish perfect as a lighter bite on those hot summer days.
Crawfish Bread. Another popular dish throughout Louisiana, crawfish bread is very similar to bruschetta, albeit with a fresh, creamy, slightly spicy crawfish mix instead of the usual tomatoes.
Cajun Crawfish Fried Rice. Fried rice is a common Asian side dish, known for its wholesome, comforting flavor, and as a great pairing for most dishes.
