Crawfish Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Sweat the garlic, bell peppers and shallots together in a medium saute pan over medium heat with the butter. Add the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning. Cook until the tails turn pink and become opaque. Remove from the heat and let cool into a mixing bowl. Once cooled, mix in the spinach, white cheddar, corn and black beans.
• In a heavy-bottomed, straight-sided, medium saute pan, add enough oil to reach at least 1-inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat.
• Place 2 ounces of the mixture in the middle of a spring roll wrapper. Egg wash the edges and dredge in cornstarch. Fry in batches until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oil and enjoy.

Steps:

• For the aioli: In a bowl, whisk together the mayo, garlic, mustard, green onions, seafood seasoning and lemon juice. Blend until mixed well. Refrigerate until serving. For the spring rolls: Place the oil in a 1-gallon thick-bottomed saucepan and heat to 350 degrees F. Reduce the heat and hold at 350 degrees F until cooking.
• In a bowl, mix the cabbage, collard greens, cucumber, onions and sprouts. Season with the salt and pepper, and then blend with the crawfish and pork. Again, mix together.
• After mixing the filling, place the wrappers on a dry counter with points at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, forming a diamond. After laying out the wrappers, lightly brush the edges with the prepared slurry, then place 1/6 of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
• Next, bring the bottom point over the filling and press the tip down to seal the 6 o'clock point, then repeat with 3 and 9 o'clock point and again seal. Once the three points have been sealed, roll tightly from the bottom to top, and repeat the process with the remaining rolls. Next, place the rolls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help seal.
• After refrigerating, place in the fryer and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then remove from the oil. Allow to dry over paper towels, then slice in half and serve with the aioli.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine crawfish tails, celery and green onions and set aside.
• In a smaller bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard and dill weed. Pour this dressing over the crawfish.
• Toss lightly to coat everything, cover and chill for 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
• To serve, toast rolls and add a little salt and pepper to the crawfish if needed. Divide filling among rolls and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the processed cheese until melted. Reduce the heat to low, and keep the sauce warm.
• Meanwhile, melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crawfish tails and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Cook and stir until the tails are hot and beginning to curl, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the crawfish tails into the cheese sauce, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook the pistolette rolls in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool enough to handle, cut a slit in one end of each roll, then use the handle of a spoon to create a pocket in the roll. Stuff the rolls with the crawfish mixture and serve immediately.
