Crawfish Deviled Eggs
After hosting a crawfish boil, there’s always an overabundance of well-seasoned crawfish. Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that get an upgrade, after the crawfish boil, with your leftover crawfish tail meat. The filling for these eggs is studded with crawfish, capers and green onions for a flavor blend that makes the perfect one bite appetizer.
