Method

Prepare Mahi Mahi

  1. 1

    Season and Cook

    Rub the Mahi Mahi fillets with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and blackened. Set aside.

Prepare Crawfish Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté Ingredients

    In the same skillet, add butter and sauté scallions, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes for about 3 minutes. Add crawfish tails and white wine, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Cook Potatoes

    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  2. 4

    Mash and Season

    Add minced garlic, butter, and milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare Shrimp Sauce (Optional)

    Cook Shrimp

    In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté tasso ham for 2 minutes. Add shrimp, roasted red peppers, and shiitake mushrooms, cooking until shrimp are pink. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper.

Prepare Rice (if choosing Crawfish sauce)

    Cook Rice

    In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until water is absorbed.
