I don’t know about you, but during the Lenten season, seafood makes an appearance on our menu quite often. Definitely on Fridays, but also during the week.

There are always the ususal standbys, but I like to change things up by adding a few new items to our menu every now and then. As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life, right?

And who better to help me jazz things up then my good friends at Tony Chachere’s?!

Today, I’m sharing these incredibly easy, yet SUPER tasty Lobster Hush Puppies with Creole Remoulade using Tony’s Crispy Creole Hush Puppy Mix and Original Creole Seasoning.

If you’re a regular here at the BHK, you know I’m a huge Tony Chachere’s fan and have been for years. Their products are quality products, packed with flavor that never disappoint my family and my guests.

Their Original Creole Seasoning is a staple in my pantry, as well as their marinades and dinner mixes.

I’ve used their products for savory dishes, like my Cajun Scallops and Cheesy Grits and sweet recipes too, like my Mini Pumpkin Praline Upside Down Cakes.

What I love about Tony Chachere’s line of products is that they make it easy for the home cook to create a South Louisiana style meal in only thirty minutes, and that’s winning at dinner for me!

These Lobster Hush Puppies are deep fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. To make these extra special, I’ve added lots of fresh lobster meat, red pepper, scallions and some shredded gruyère cheese.

The Creole Remoulade on the side is made with Tony’s Original Creole seasoning, a bit of mayo, scallions, capers, garlic, whole grain mustard, parsely and lemon juice. It’s absolutely delicious!

Prep Time 20 minutes mins

Cook Time 25 minutes mins

Total Time 45 minutes mins

Ingredients  

Creole Remoulade

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp. capers, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
• 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tsp. Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning

Lobster Hush Puppies

• 2 5 oz. lobster tails
• 1 9.5 oz. box Tony Chachere's Crispy Creole Hush Puppy Mix
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1 lemon, zested
• 1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
• canola oil, for frying

Instructions 

Creole Remoulade

• In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for remoulade. Refrigerate until ready to serve. You can make the remoulade a day ahead of time. 

Lobster Hush Puppies

• Place a steamer basket in a large pot. Fill pot with 2 inches of cold water. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the lobster tails to the basket. Cover the pot and cook the tails for 5-6 minutes. Remove the tails from the pot with tongs. The tails should be completely cooked in the center of the meat. Once tails are cooled enough to handle, remove the meat from the shell and finely chop. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine Tony Chachere's Crispy Creole Hush Puppy Mix, milk and egg. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in cooled lobster meat, red pepper, green onions, lemon zest and gruyere cheese. Do not over mix. Let batter rest while you heat oil for frying.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack over the parchment.

  Heat several inches of canola oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees. You will need to add enough oil so that while the hush puppies are cooking they are completely submerged in the oil. Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, drop batter into hot oil. Do not crowd the pot. (I cook 4 at a time) Fry until hush puppies are a golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove to prepared sheet. 
• Serve immediately with chilled Creole remoulade.
