Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup crab claw meat, bits removed
2 cups boiled crawfish tails
1/2 pound boiled, peeled shrimp
2 large celery stalks, sliced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup green bell pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix everything together in a bowl and then refrigerate until you are ready to serve. It’s really that easy. (I like to mix the mayo and lemon juice together before stirring it into the rest of the ingredients.)

    Step 2

    Do Ahead: Will keep in an airtight container for up to three days before getting funky.
