Indulgent Crawfish Mac & Cheese Balls: Crispy exterior reveals a gooey center studded with succulent seafood and fresh herbs.

Girl, let me tell you about this mouthwatering midnight snack that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM! I’m sharing my secret Louisiana-inspired Crawfish Mac and Cheese Bites recipe that’s absolutely to die for. Trust me, once you try these little pieces of heaven, you’ll be thinking about them all day long.

These crispy, creamy, and oh-so-cheesy bites combine the best of Louisiana’s flavors with everyone’s favorite comfort food. And honey, I’ve served these at countless late-night gatherings, and my friends literally fight over the last one!


Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups leftover mac and cheese (homemade is best, but I won’t judge 😉)
– 1/2 pound cooked crawfish tail meat
– 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
– 1/2 cup bread crumbs
– 1 egg
– Oil for frying

Y’all, the magic happens when you mix everything together. First, fold those succulent crawfish tails into your mac and cheese. Add the bell peppers, green onions, and that kick of Cajun seasoning. Now, form these babies into little balls (about golf ball size), dip in beaten egg, and roll in bread crumbs.

Now, heat your oil to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a bread crumb in – if it sizzles, you’re good to go). Fry these little darlings until they’re golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. The outside should be crispy, while the inside stays creamy and cheesy.

Pro tip: I like to serve these with a quick remoulade sauce. Just mix mayo, Creole mustard, hot sauce, and some chopped pickles. It’s _chef’s kiss_ perfect!

Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved me from those late-night cravings. It’s like a warm hug from a Cajun grandmother, but with a modern twist!

P.S. If you can’t find crawfish, shrimp works just as well (but don’t tell my Louisiana friends I said that! 🤫)
