Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package crawfish tail meat
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- chopped green onion
- 2 (16.3 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough, separated
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 pinch paprika, or to taste
- cayenne pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Mix crawfish meat, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and green onion together in a big bowl.
- Flatten and stretch out 12 biscuits with your hands or a rolling pin until they are rectangular in shape and about 4×5 inches.
- Place a scoop of the crawfish mix in the middle of each flattened biscuit and close all sides around it, working with your hands until all creases are fully sealed and you reach a desired shape.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place beignets carefully into the hot oil and fry until they float to the top and are golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed, about 5 minutes total. Remove from oil onto a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle tops with paprika and cayenne pepper.

Found this recipe because my husband asked me to try to make Brenda’s crawfish beignets. It definitely does the trick in killing the craving, and my husband loved them! Thanks!!!
considering the pandemic, I could not find crawfish. I used simple salad shrimp. tried baking and frying. frying was way better
Great recipe. I cooked mine in the toaster oven to try and be a little healthier.
I dislike crawfish…used crabmeat instead Delicious!!
