CRAB FRIES

Steps:

• Prepare your preferred method for frying french fries, such as oil on a stovetop, countertop fryer or air fryer at 350 degrees F.
• Drop the frozen fries into the oil and cook for 8 minutes (if you prefer a little extra-crisp, cook for an additional 2 minutes). Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Season with the Fry Seasoning to taste. Drizzle with the Char Grill Butter and toss until the fries are all covered.
• To a bowl or plate of your choice, add a layer of fries, an even layer of the Char Grill Cheese, lump crab and a drizzle of the Crab Mayo on top, then repeat the process.
• In a medium bowl, combine the paprika, salt, chili powder, granulated garlic and cayenne. Stir with a whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. Store in an airtight container, up to 1 month.
• In a medium stockpot, combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt, granulated garlic, liquid smoke and 1/2 cup water. Melt the butter on low heat, then turn the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. (Be sure not to bring the mixture to a boil.) Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
• Combine the Parmesan, mozzarella, granulated garlic and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until chopped into small pieces. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
• In a large bowl, combine the parsley, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, honey and seafood seasoning until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

CAJUN CRAWFISH FRIED RICE

Add the celery, onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.

CAJUN POPCORN (BATTER-FRIED CRAWFISH)

Steps:

• Prepare the crawfish or shrimp and set aside.

• Heat one inch of oil in a black iron skillet or use a deep-fat fryer. It is important that the oil be heated to a temperature as close to 370 degrees as possible. Coat the seafood with batter and drop it a few pieces at a time in the hot fat. This will be done in several batches. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown all over, about two minutes total cooking time.
