This dip is so full of flavor. Even people who don't like seafood love this dip. It is a favorite in my house for sure! I don't have easy access to fresh crawfish so I just use the frozen ones.

  • 2 pounds peeled crawfish tails (if using frozen crawfish then thaw and rinse before adding)
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour

How To Make cheesy crawfish dip

  • Step 1
    Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in green onions, and cook briefly. Add parsley and crawfish, and simmer about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in flour.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks and evaporated milk. Stir into crawfish, and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Step 3
    Gradually add cheese cubes, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted.
  • Step 4
    Season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Remove from heat. Let it stand a little before serving that way it has time to thicken just a bit.
  • Step 5
    You can serve this in a small crock pot or in a nice bowl. I like to use the scoop chips with this dip.
