Recipe Tips

If you can’t find crawfish in your area you can use shrimp or crab. Or lobster would be awesome as well. Many well-stocked grocery stores, especially ones that are slightly higher end, or specialty stores will have frozen crawfish tails in the freezer seafood section. If not, it’s worth a try to ask the store manager at the store you frequent if they can get some.

This Crawfish Queso is made on the stove but you could easily make it in the slow cooker or transfer the finished dip to a slow cooker to keep it warm.

How To Serve

Crawfish Queso is great with tortilla chips but it is also wonderful with fresh French bread. It is a wonderful addition to a Mardi Gras menu and makes a great game day snack.

In addition to crawfish, this queso also has another popular Cajun ingredient, andouille sausage. The andouille adds some heat to the queso. A combination of Velveeta cheese and Colby Jack cheese makes for a really smooth and creamy texture. Both these cheeses melt really well.
