Total Time
45 min
Ingredients
- 1 pound crawfish tails (drained)
- 1 onion
- 1 bellpepper
- 1 celery
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 chicken or shrimp stock
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 2 cups of cubed French bread or herb stuffing mix
- 1 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- Cajun spices
- 1 1/2 capful of liquid crab boil
- parsley
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Chop veggies finely
- Throw it in a saucepan with the butter.
- Sauté until translucent
- Add chicken broth or shrimp stock
- Now the liquid crab boil! Cap and a half.
- Cube the French bread and pour it in a large bowl
- Pour the veggie/butter mix on top and mix it well (Make sure the bread or stuffing mix soaks up the liquid)
- Time to add crawfish tails.
- Season em with what you like. I like Tony's, but ya know, live ya life, and use what you want.
- If the stuffing is drying out, just splash some more broth or stock on it.
- Taste it, adjust seasoning, and let it cool to touch so that you can hand roll it into the cutest, whittle balls!
- After rolling, refrigerate them for 30 mins to an hour.
- Heat some vegetable oil.
- Roll the lil ball in some flour
- Make an egg wash with and dip him in (he'll love it!)
- Roll him around in some breadcrumbs that you sprinkled some parsley and grated Parmesan in earlier, which I forgot to tell you to do, so yeah, do that.
- Ok, now fry him and his buddies until you like how golden and handsome they are.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Enjoy!!
Notes
- Amount depends on the size of each ball. I made mine a tad smaller than a golf ball and this recipe yielded 20 balls.
