This tailgate-friendly bite, courtesy of Executive Chef Marcus Woodham of Birdy's brings that N'Awlins flavor to classic deviled eggs with buttermilk-marinated crawfish and a kicked-up hot sauce reduction.
Ingredients
12 boiled eggs, halved with yolks and white separated
Blue Plate Mayonnaise, as needed
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 cup Louisiana hot sauce
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 lb. Louisiana crawfish tails
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn flour
1/2 cup corn starch
2 Tbsps. creole seasoning
Steps
Marinate crawfish in buttermilk and 1/2 cup hot sauce and set aside.
Take the remaining hot sauce and reduce over medium heat until very thick.
For egg yolk: Push boiled egg yolks through a fine mesh, then add dijon mustard and enough mayonnaise to make a smooth, fluffy yolk mixture. Season with salt and pepper. In a piping bag, fill each egg white generously with yolk mixture.
In a preheated pot of oil to 350 degrees, fry crawfish in two batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Once the crawfish are drained, garnish the deviled egg with fried crawfish, a bit of the hot sauce reduction, and green onion.
Additional Tips
Creole seasoning is a savory blend of coriander, celery, tomato, garlic, lemon, thyme and more.
