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. Coat thoroughly 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. |
