"Authentic Cajun popcorn is actually deep-fried crawfish tails seasoned with peppery spices," explains Bogalusa, Louisiana field editor Ruby Williams. "But we like this lighter, simpler version made with real popcorn. It's our favorite TV snack."

CAJUN POPCORN (BATTER-FRIED CRAWFISH)

Cajun Popcorn (Batter-Fried Crawfish) image

Cajun popcorn is an irresistible appetizer made with deep-fried crawfish. Paul Prudhomme, the chef and owner of K-Paul's Restaurant in New Orleans, shared this recipe in 1983 with Craig Claiborne. It was featured in a menu for an economic summit held in Williamsburg, Va. Mr. Claiborne created three days of meal programming that he hoped would display the geographic and gastronomic diversity of the United States. If crawfish is not readily available where you live, look for frozen crawfish tails online.

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 pounds crawfish tails, peeled, or very small shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup corn flour (see note)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt to taste if desired
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon finely ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon pulverized ground bay leaves
Oil for deep frying
Garlic mayonnaise

Steps:

Prepare the crawfish or shrimp and set aside.
Blend eggs and milk; beat well.
In a large bowl, combine the corn flour and all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, garlic, onion, peppers, thyme and bay leaves. Blend well. Gradually add the milk mixture, stirring well with a whisk. Let stand one hour at room temperature.
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.
As the food is cooked, drain well of paper towels. Serve with garlic mayonnaise on the side.

CAJUN-SPICED POPCORN

Cajun-Spiced Popcorn image

This recipe came from Alan (my best friend in college). His parents are from Louisiana and this was his mom's recipe. We used to have poker parties all the time and this was one of our favorite things to serve. Popcorn is cheap, so we made a lot of different flavored popcorns.

CAJUN POPCORN SPICE

Cajun Popcorn Spice image

Although there are several recipes for Cajun flavored popcorn posted, this fiery blend has a unique combination of spices. Use this on your favorite popcorn popped in a microwave, on the stove or using popcorn popper. You will need a little moisture to get the spices to adhere, the choice (butter, margarine or a low calorie butter substitute) is yours. Store the spice in a air-tight container as you would other spice blends.

Yield 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon salt (optional)

Steps:

Chef's Note: The amount of cayenne is a matter of taste but also the heat level of your paprika. If you are in the slightest bit timid, start with 1/2 teaspoon, blend and add more if desired.
Mix all spices together in spice grinder or mini processor. Pulse quickly to mix spices and to break up the leaves of the herbs.
Sprinkle on popcorn to taste. Hot stuff!
