Crawfish Salad

From the kitchen of Carly

Sweet crawfish and shrimp tossed with crisp celery and bell pepper in a bright lemon mayo, cold and ready to serve. This is Gulf Coast simplicity, best made ahead and pulled straight from the fridge when hunger strikes.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11/2 cup crab claw meat, bits removed
  • 12 cups boiled crawfish tails
  • 11/2 pound boiled, peeled shrimp
  • 12 large celery stalks, sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 11/4 cup green bell pepper
  • 13/4 teaspoon salt
  • 11/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 11/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 13 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  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.)

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