If you are lucky
enough to find fresh crawfish, by all means use it! Unfortunately, where
I live, all I can get is frozen tail meat. Just as the title implies,
this tasty treat is so good you can probably eat the entire pound
yourself! I like it with my
remoulade
sauce that must be prepared ahead of time. This can also be used for
shrimp.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes* Serving Size: 4
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 4 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
|
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound crawfish tail meat
- Peanut oil for frying
- lemon wedges
- remoulade sauce

*If you have not already prepared your
remoulade, you'll need to do so
(click here). It
should sit at least three hours for the flavors to blend correctly. Heat
oil in your deep fryer to 375°. Rinse crawfish tails and dry completely. In
a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cayenne and black pepper, chili
powder, salt and sugar. Thoroughly coat the crawfish tails in the flour
mixture and let sit a few minutes. Fry coated tails in heated oil about 3 to
4 minutes, until lightly browned. Place in a clean bowl lined with paper
towels. Serve with lemon wedges and
remoulade. Note that
shrimp may also be used. |
