Crawfish Pistolettes

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onions, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic; cook and stir until onions softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in evaporated milk; bring to a simmer. Stir in cheese until melted. Reduce heat to low; keep sauce warm.

Meanwhile, melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add crawfish tails; season with Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook and stir until tails are hot and beginning to curl, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir tails into cheese sauce; cook 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
