Spicy Crawfish Boulettes Recipes

SPICY CRAWFISH BOULETTES

Steps:

• 1. Place crawfish, onion, bellpepper, celery, parsley, and garlic into a food processor. Use the pulse option, and spin until crawfish pieces are approximately 1/4″.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix bread crumbs, egg, and Mr. Pete's Cajun Seasoning. In another pan, pour in Mr. Pete's Seasoned Cajun Oyster fry.
• 3. Using the mixture from the food processor, hand roll 12- 2″ balls. Dip balls into bread crumb, egg, and seasoning blend, then into Mr. Pete's Seasoned Cajun Oyster Fry. Coat balls thoroughly.
• 4. Heat your oil to 350 degrees. (I like to use a deep fryer to ensure the boulettes are cooked evenly, but you may pan fry them as well.) Place boulettes into oil, and fry until golden brown. Remove from fryer and drain on absorbent paper towels.***This dish can be served as an appetizer or as a meal, and with or without a seafood dip. This recipe yields approximately 12 balls.

CRAWFISH BALLS

Steps:

• In a medium pot warm crawfish thoroughly on low heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Louisiana crawfish boil mix (I used 1 tablespoon because I like it spicy) use up to 1 tablespoon if you want it spicy. Remove crawfish from heat once warmed. Stir in lemon juice, mix well and set aside.
• Chop onion, garlic, and green onion in food processoror chopper
• Using a strainer to drain all the liquid from the crawfish, once drained then place crawfish in the food processor on top of the chopped vegetable
• Chop the crawfish up into pieces be careful not to make the crawfish mushy; they should be chunky.
• Pour the crawfish mixture into a large mixing bowl, add remaining ingredients. Chop the parsley with a knife.
• Mix ingredients well with clean hands or use gloves.
• Shape crawfish mixture into golf size balls. Place on a cookie sheet. Should make 20 balls.
• Roll balls in flour. I stirred in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder into the flour. Heat cooking oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees. Fry 3-4 balls at a time in deep fryer until brown. Please be careful when cooking with hot oil.
• Once crawfish balls are brown, carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and place onto a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy!
