Crawfish Patties

• Sauce
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons pesto sauce (I use store-bought)
• Patties
• 1 lb frozen crawfish, thawed and chopped
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons pesto sauce
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup green onion, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or your favorite herb)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

1. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
2. In a large bowl, combine all patty ingredients except oil.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4. Add spoon 1/3 cup mixture into skillet for each patty, cooking 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. The patties will be very loose when you first flip them over. Use a spatula to flatten them after they are flipped, and flip again if needed until they firm up.
5. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve patties topped with sauce or cocktail sauce.
