Crawfish Cake Mixture

For Serving

Method

Prepare the Crawfish Cake Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crawfish tails, bread crumbs, chopped green onions, finely diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed cakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cook the Crawfish Cakes

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Fry Cakes

    Carefully add the crawfish cakes to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently to avoid breaking the cakes.

  3. 5

    Drain Cakes

    Once cooked, transfer the crawfish cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Crawfish Cakes

    Serve the crawfish cakes warm with lemon wedges and a side of remoulade sauce for dipping.
