Crawfish Boulettes image

Boulettes is French for 'little balls.' These combine the naturally sweet taste of crawfish tails with the Cajun 'Trinity' of onions, bell peppers, and celery, with an extra kick from the Cajun seasoning. They are deep fried until golden brown and delicious. You will love these!

Time 2h5m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (16 ounce) package cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped celery
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
5 slices stale white bread, torn into pieces
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1 ½ cups dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • Place the crawfish tails, chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, stale bread, and egg into the bowl of a food processor. Add the salt, black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning. Cover and pulse until the crayfish mixture is finely chopped. Scrape into a bowl and fold in the parsley and green onions. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Form the crawfish mixture into 1 tablespoon-size balls and roll in the bread crumbs. Cook in batches in the hot oil until the balls turn golden brown and begin to float, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed these boulettes. They were so well-seasoned and the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make these again, even for non-seafood lovers.

These boulettes were a disaster! They fell apart when I tried to fry them, and the sauce was way too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought these boulettes were just okay. They were a little bit bland, and the sauce was a bit too thick. I would probably not make them again.

These boulettes were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I would probably try making them again with a different recipe.

These boulettes were a little bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best crawfish boulettes he's ever had. I would definitely make them again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.
