Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cook half of the bacon until crisp in a large skillet.
Remove and set aside. In the same skillet that you cooked the bacon in, add the butter, mushrooms and shallots and cook for about 2 minutes.
Add the crawfish and parsley and saute until tender.
Pour the mixture out onto a baking sheet and add the cream cheese and mix together.
Sprinkle the tenderloin with the olive oil, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Spoon the mushroom, bacon and crawfish mixture down the center of the tenderloin. Bring the two sides of the tenderloin up around the filling to meet. Use butcher string and tie around the roll at 2 inch intervals. Top with the remaining bacon.
Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads 125 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.
Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, Muscadet, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sparkling Wine
Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, and Muscadet are my top picks for Crawfish. Though different seafoods can certainly call for different wines, generally a crisp, light-bodied white wine or a sparkling white wine will do the trick and not drown out any subtle flavors. The Foley Estate Winery Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
