Description

Crispy egg rolls filled with spicy crawfish, andouille sausage, and Cajun seasonings, served with a creamy remoulade sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 pound crawfish tails, chopped
  • 1/2 pound andouille sausage, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • For the remoulade sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced andouille sausage for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add a little oil and sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the chopped crawfish tails, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Place an egg roll wrapper in front of you like a diamond. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crawfish mixture onto the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with water to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  5. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Meanwhile, make the remoulade sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, lemon juice, paprika, and garlic powder. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. Serve the egg rolls hot with remoulade sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a lighter version, these egg rolls can be baked at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
