Crawfish Tails

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Crawfish Tails

    Dip the crawfish tails in the batter, making sure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Crawfish Tails

    Carefully place the battered crawfish tails into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Toss

    Remove the fried crawfish tails from the oil and drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the fried tails with the Voodoo sauce until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Voodoo crawfish tails hot with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese dressing on the side.
