Crawfish boil on Good Friday? We love this tradition! And we especially love a few extra nibbles and something sweet to end the day. Here are five recipes to round out your crawfish boil.
1- Moroccan Crawfish Hand Pies
Crawfish boil with a side of crawfish? Don’t mind if we do! Take crawfish season in a new direction with these North African flavor-inspired meat pies. A nice hit of spice from Harissa Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus rich, savory flavor from Ras El Hanout makes for a nice change of pace. This recipe was featured in Country Roads Magazine.
2- Cucumber Salad with Sunny Herb Vinaigrette
The perfect crunch meets the perfect vinaigrette in this simple, summery salad. Our Sunny Herb Blend is the perfect mixture to whisk into oil and vinegar. Drizzle it onto a simple bowl of cucumbers and wait for the transformation. So fresh! So delish! We use our Salad Dressing Bottle to make it so easy.
3- Meaux Betta Dipping Sauce
This quick, simple dip is a must for chicken fingers. Oh, and crawfish tails too! On occasion, we’ve also been known to dip in a fried pickle chip or french fry. It’s that good. No matter what you dip, you’ll want to grab Meaux Betta Blend, make this sauce, then dip it. Dip it good.
4- Zydeco Tailgate Dip
Just like the south Louisiana music tradition, our Zydeco Blend is a complex mix of flavors. So much savory flavor studded with the right amount of heat plus a colorful pop from turmeric and spinach. Yes, spinach! Consider Zydeco to be your new, go-to, all-purpose Cajun Creole seasoning. Turn up the music and let’s cook. The perfect playlist for this dish? Well, Zydeco, of course!
5- Margarita Cupcakes
Margaritas are a fun cocktail, and what’s more fun than a cupcake? We love the fun factor of these light, fluffy and bright lime cupcakes, complete with a sprinkle of salt. They’re easy, too! We employ grocery-store frosting – remember, Ina Garten assures that “store bought is fine” – and add in a few tricks to give it a homemade flavor. Make cocktail hour extra sweet with these beauties!
