Crawfish Balls

These Crawfish Balls are chock full of crawfish and deep fried to a golden brown perfection. They taste delicious and are spicy and flavorful.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound cooked, peeled, and thawed crawfish tails or shrimp
• 1 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
• Louisiana crawfish shrimp and crab boil seasoning (from bag)
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• All purpose flour
• Cooking oil

Directions:

• In a medium pot warm crawfish thoroughly on low heat
• Stir in 1 teaspoon of crawfish boil mix (I used 1 Tablespoon because I like it spicy) use up to 1 Tablespoon if you want it spicy
• Remove crawfish from heat once warmed
• Stir in lemon juice, mix well and set aside
• Chop onion, garlic, and green onion in food processoror chopper
• Use a strainer to drain all the liquid from the crawfish - once drained then place crawfish in the food processor on top of the chopped vegetables
• Chop the crawfish up into pieces being careful not to make the crawfish mushy; they should be chunky
• Pour the crawfish mixture into a large mixing bowl
• Add remaining ingredients
• Chop the parsley with a knife
• Mix ingredients well with clean hands or use gloves
• Shape crawfish mixture into golf size balls
• Place on a cookie sheet
• Should make 20 balls
• Roll balls in flour - I stirred in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder into the flour
• Heat cooking oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees
• Fry 3-4 balls at a time in deep fryer until brown - be careful when cooking with hot oil
• Once crawfish balls are brown, carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and place onto a cookie sheet lined with paper towels
• Serve warm

Enjoy!
