Barbecue Bites: Crawfish Roll

This crawfish roll is our answer to the North's lobster roll. Chef Eusebio Gongora came up with this recipe for a flavorful summer sandwich that's sure to be a hit at your next party.

Of all the things you can do with leftover boiled crawfish tails, this is one of our favorites (and one of the yummiest). Or, if you don't have any spare tails lying around, Indie Plate can hook you up.

Pair this cold sandwich with an ice cold beer to beat the summer heat! Find this recipe and more at hugjayd.com.
