**Honey Garlic Crawfish Fries**
Hey friends! Feeling a little hungry for something delicious and easy? These Honey Garlic Crawfish Fries are perfect for a light yet satisfying meal, and they’re surprisingly simple to make!
**Ingredients:**
* 1 lb crawfish tails (frozen is fine!)
* * 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* * 1 tsp garlic powder
* * 1/2 tsp onion powder
* * 1/4 tsp salt
* * 1/4 tsp black pepper
* * 1/4 cup honey
* * 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
* * 2 tbsp olive oil
* * Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. **Prep the Crawfish:** If using frozen crawfish, thaw them completely. Pat them dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up nicely!
2. **Make the Flour Mixture:** In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. **Coat the Crawfish:** Dredge each crawfish tail in the flour mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
4. **Fry the Crawfish (or Bake!):**
5. * **Frying:** Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the crawfish tails and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the pan! Work in batches if necessary.
6. * **Baking:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated crawfish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
7. **Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and soy sauce.
8. **Combine & Serve:** Once the crawfish are cooked, toss them gently in the honey garlic sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
