Crawfish Patties image

I recently ordered Crawfish Cakes (like crab cakes) at a restaurant and just loved them. I looked here but couldn't find anything similar to them, so I modified a crab cake recipe of mine and it turned out fabulous. Use frozen crawfish chopped up, or substitute crab for the original recipe. I haven't tried it, but I also think this would work with chopped cooked shrimp. UPDATE: Following a review suggestion, I next time I tried this I added some green onion and chopped cilantro and it definitely was an improvement.

Time 20m

Yield 12 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pesto sauce (I use store-bought)
1 lb frozen crawfish, thawed and chopped
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or your favorite herb)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
  • In a large bowl, combine all patty ingredients except oil.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add spoon 1/3 cup mixture into skillet for each patty, cooking 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. The patties will be very loose when you first flip them over. Use a spatula to flatten them after they are flipped, and flip again if needed until they firm up.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve patties topped with sauce or cocktail sauce.
