8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup Parmesan cheese divided

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon dried mustard

2 green onions, white and green parts chopped

1 clove garlic, pressed

1/2 teaspoon shrimp boil

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

8 ounces cooked crawfish tail meat

Crackers or crostini

​

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

Combine the cream cheese, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, dried mustard, green onions, garlic, shrimp boil and Worcestershire sauce in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until combined.

 

Gently fold in the crawfish tail meat. Season with salt and pepper.

 

Spread the crawfish mixture into a small baking dish or pie plate.
