12 oz. or 340 g of crawfish tails, cooked
1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, divided in 2 parts
1 egg
3/4 tsp. of Old Bay seasoning
1/3 tsp. of cayenne pepper

1 cup of mayo
3/4 cup of ketchup
5 tbsp. of Tapatio hot sauce
Let’s make it
- Preheat 1 inch of oil in a pan to 350 F.
- Put in a food processor crawfish tails, 1/2 of sleeve of crackers, egg and the seasoning.
- Pulsing blend until you get small chunks. Something like this. It’s blended but not to mushy. You still wanna see a texture.

- Add sliced green onions, mix and form in 1 tsp. balls rolling them into crackers.
- Fry until golden brown.
- Sauce
- Mix all the ingredients together
- Serving
- Take 5-6 green onions and slice 1-1.5 inch slices. Then slice them in thin slices (like sticks). Place in ice water for a few minutes to get curly.
- Sprinkle lots of green onions on the top of Crawford Crawfish balls and serve with the sauce on the side.
- Enjoy!
