Instructions

1-Preheat your oven: Start by prepping your space and ingredients, because a little organization goes a long way in the kitchen. You’ll preheat your oven to 400°F and gather everything for a smooth cooking flow.

2-Cook the andouille sausage: First, in a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the andouille sausage until it’s nicely browned, which takes about 5 minutes. Set it aside to let those flavors build.

3-Cook the shrimp: Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and season it with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning, ¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon seafood seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink, then set it aside too.

4-Sauté the vegetables: Now, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and sauté the onion, carrots, and celery with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Let them soften for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, set them aside as well.

5-Make the roux: For the roux, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, stir in ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

6-Build the filling: Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy whipping cream and most of the 1 ½ cups seafood stock, saving some for adjusting consistency later. Add the filling seasonings: 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir everything together until it’s creamy and fragrant.

7-Combine filling ingredients: Return the sausage, shrimp, sautéed vegetables, and crawfish tails to the skillet. Fold them into the sauce, adding reserved stock if needed for the right thickness.

8-Assemble and bake: Roll out one pie crust into your pie dish, pour in the filling, top with the second crust, seal the edges, and cut slits for steam. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.

9-Cool the pie: After baking, let it cool for 10-15 minutes for easier slicing. This method keeps the pie from getting soggy, ensuring every bite is perfect.
