Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound crawfish meat (cooked)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked crawfish meat, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
Add the chopped green onions, parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crawfish patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crawfish patties warm with tartar sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or your favorite dipping sauce.
