It was a combination of a successful late season archery hunt on public land and the remainder of tails from a crawfish boil for my birthday.&nbsp; After peeling several pounds of tails, I began to think\u2026this would be really good paired with some backtrap.&nbsp; The seed had been planted.&nbsp; Ever since that day, I reserve this recipe for special occasions.&nbsp; It\u2019s easy to do but just takes a bit of time and patience to perfect.&nbsp; You are sure to impress your friends and family with this recipe.&nbsp; It pairs well with both red wine or cold beer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-6.png?resize=486%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-289\" width=\"486\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-6.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-6.png?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saute your onions and bell peppers in butter until softened.&nbsp; Then add your crawfish tails to warm though.&nbsp; Next add plain bread crumbs and enough water to get the consistency of thick oatmeal.&nbsp; Season your stuffing according to your specific taste.&nbsp; You will need to let the mixture cool long enough so that you can use your bare fingers to stuff the backstrap.&nbsp; You also don\u2019t want to start cooking the meat with hot stuffing.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"362\" src=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-7.png?resize=511%2C341&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-290\" width=\"511\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-7.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-7.png?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need to make a pocket into the thick end of your backstrap.&nbsp; I like using a filet knife for this work.&nbsp; Make sure that you don\u2019t cut all the way through to the bottom of the backstrap.&nbsp; Season the meat really well.&nbsp; Spray a disposable meatloaf tin with non-stick spray.&nbsp; Place the backstrap into the tin.&nbsp; You will then begin to fill the pocket with your stuffing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-8.png?resize=583%2C390&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-291\" width=\"583\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-8.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.edibleoutdoorscook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-8.png?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place your dish into a pre heated 350 degree oven.&nbsp; Bake uncovered for approximately 18 minutes for a nice medium rare temperature.&nbsp; This will vary depending on the size of your backstrap and the amount of stuffing that you use.&nbsp; I suggest that you err on the side of medium rare.&nbsp;
