Ingredients

• 1 pound crawfish meat (cooked)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked crawfish meat, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.

Step 2

Add the chopped green onions, parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crawfish patties in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the crawfish patties warm with tartar sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or your favorite dipping sauce.
