New Orleans Crawfish Boil Bread Pudding Bombs with THC-Infused Rémuolade Butter (120 mg each)

New Orleans Crawfish Boil Bread Pudding Bombs with THC-Infused Rémuolade Butter (120 mg each)

This is the one that finally makes Mardi Gras shut up and listen. Sweet-savory Louisiana bread pudding studded with whole crawfish tails, andouille chunks, trinity, and a violent amount of Zatarain’s, baked into softball-sized bombs, then deep-fried for a crackling shell. Right when they come out, you split the top and pour in a molten THC-rémuolade butter that’s basically liquid Cajun crack. The butter carries the full 1,440 mg payload. One bomb and you’re second-lining down St. Charles with a stranger’s baby on your shoulders. Two bombs and you’ll wake up on a shrimp boat in the Gulf wearing a crawfish bib as a cape and calling the horizon “cher.”

Crawfish boil bread pudding (make the day before)  
- 2 lb stale French bread, cubed  
- 2 lb peeled crawfish tails (Louisiana, never Chinese)  
- 1 lb andouille, diced and browned hard  
- 2 cups trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper), fine dice  
- 8 eggs  
- 4 cups half-and-half  
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack  
- ¼ cup Zatarain’s crab boil seasoning (dry shake)  
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning  
- Hot sauce to taste

Soak bread in egg-cream mixture overnight with everything else mixed in. Pack into greased hotel pans, bake 350 °F 45–50 min until just set. Cool completely, then scoop into 12 equal portions (about 6–7 oz each).

Bomb assembly  
Roll each chilled pudding portion into a tight ball.  
Standard vetkoek/fry-bread dough:  
- 5 cups AP flour, 2 tsp salt, 2 tbsp sugar, 2¼ tsp instant yeast, 1¾ cups warm water, ¼ cup softened butter  
Knead smooth, bulk ferment 90 min.  
Divide into 12 pieces, flatten, wrap completely around a pudding ball, seal tight. Proof 45 min.

Fry at 350 °F 6–7 minutes until deep mahogany and floating like a jazz funeral. Drain 20 seconds.

Service  
Place each bomb in a paper boat, slice an X in the top, pry open, and pour 2 oz of the hot THC rémuolade butter straight into the molten center. Garnish with green onion and a single crawfish tail wearing a tiny crown.

120 mg per bomb.  
Eat one and you’ll throw beads at your own reflection.  
Eat two and you’ll wake up in the Mississippi River holding a trombone and proposing marriage to a pelican.  
Laissez les bons temps rouler all the way to the ER, bébé. ⚜️🦞🔥
