Chef Kelly Fields’s Crawfish Roll

Preparation

For Remoulade:

Combine ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.

For Crawfish Roll and Assembly:

Do Ahead: At least 2 hours before serving, stir the boiled crawfish and chopped celery into the remoulade and marinate in the refrigerator.

 

Preheat a skillet over medium-high. Slather outer sides of lobster roll buns with Duke’s Mayonnaise, and griddle until golden brown and slightly crispy; flip and repeat until both sides are toasty. Remove buns from skillet and split down the middle. Fill each toasted bun with 4 oz. crawfish-remoulade mixture. Top with chives and celery leaves if desired, and serve.

Recipe from Kelly Fields of Willa Jean in New Orleans, Louisiana.

While growing up on the water in Charleston, South Carolina, Kelly Fields routinely dropped crab traps before school to catch that night’s dinner. Now, as the chef and co-owner of Willa Jean, the New Orleans bakery and café she opened with mentor John Besh in 2015, she applies that same spirit of effortless adventure to everything from fried chicken to scratch-made cookies.
