Step 1
Heat butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until foaming, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Add diced pepper and celery; cook 3 minutes, stirring, until soft and fragrant.
Step 3
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to form a roux paste.
Step 4
Pour in cream slowly while stirring to avoid lumps; add cajun seasoning and stir until smooth.
Step 5
Fold in crawfish meat and cook 2 minutes until heated through, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Lay thawed puff pastry over the skillet filling, tuck edges down inside, then brush top lightly with water.
Step 7
Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 8
Cool 2 minutes, then serve straight from the skillet with hot sauce on the side.
