Make this with leftover tail meat or start from scratch by boiling your crawfish
- Season a pot of water with your favorite cajun spice mix and bring it to a rolling boil
- Boil the crawfish for 7-8 minutes until they turn bright red
- Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes
- Drain, spread onto newspaper and cool
- Peel the tails out and reserve. They can be frozen for later use.
- Mix everything but the crawfish tails in a bowl, then fold in the tails
- Adjust seasoning to taste and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
- Prep the lettuce. Cut off the stalk, discard the outer leaves and reserve the best 4 leaves for the salad bed
- Separate, wash, then submerge the leaves in an ice water bath for 5 minutes to bring out the color.
- Pat the leaves dry and place a leaf on each plate
- Divide the salad evenly and serve with a lemon wedge garnish
