Been rolling around an idea in my head for making crawfish meatballs. Let me know your thoughts. I plan on attempting it this week. (i took a couple pointers from one other recipe, such as the milk)

1 lb crawfish tails
1 lb ground meat (or pork)
2 tablespoon of garlic
1 tbspn thyme
1 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup green onions
italian breadcrumbs
cayenne pepper
2 tblspn milk
1/2 cup oil

1. Mince up the crawfish tails and combine with ground meat, onions, garlic, and spices and milk.

2. Roll around in bread crumbs.

3. Fry in oil until a nice golden brown.

I've made crawfish burgers similar to that. You just have to pay attention when grilling them because they're easy to dry out.

Without the "other" meat, it looks loosely like my MaMaws crawfish bisque. Don't think you can go wrong, but I would "pork" it.

If you use frozen chinese crawfish tails for this dish you should receive the bannage

This is probably going to taset a lot like......fried meatballs. I don't think the crawfish is going to add much to this. I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with BT.

my main concern is when I do meatballs I like to let them cook in the sauce for a long time. Low and slow. I don't know how tails would end up, maybe rubbery.

I'd leave out the ground meat and just make crawfish boulettes, similar to stuffed heads used for bisque. I made shrimp boulettes to add to shrimp gumbo a few times and they were dandy.

Boulettes ("little balls") are little breaded and fried balls of meat or seafood dressing, and make a scrumptious snack, appetizer or side dish. They may also be heated in brown roux-based or tomato gravy and served with rice.

1 pound crawfish tails, preferably with fat
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
6 green onions, chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
1-2 tablespoons Creole seasoning, or to taste
4 eggs, beaten separately (two and two)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Flour, cracker meal or corn meal for breading
Grind the crawfish tails together with the next four ingredients. Add the bread crumbs, Creole seasoning, two of the beaten eggs, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Shape into boulettes, dip into remaining beaten egg, roll in breading medium and fry in oil until golden brown.

Made this last night. It turned out really good. Only thing it needs is some sort of crab sauce to top it.
