Crawfish Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
In a large bowl, combine all patty ingredients except oil.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
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.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve patties topped with sauce or cocktail sauce.
