Crawfish Poboy Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crawfish

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Crawfish

    Dip the crawfish tails into the egg mixture, then coat them in the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Crawfish

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coated crawfish tails in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Poboys

    Slice the po-boy bread lengthwise, and layer fried crawfish, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes inside. Drizzle with tartar sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crawfish poboys warm with extra tartar sauce on the side.
