Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup butter 
  • pounds crawfish tails with fat

Equipment

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add half of the green onions, and cook until wilted.
  3. Add the crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until well blended. I like to use an electric mixer.
