Made popular by chef Paul Prudhomme back in the 80s. Key to success-fry the crawfish as crispy as possible; the temperature of the oil should never drop below 350°. Must serve immediately or the popcorn becomes soggy.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, garlic, and Tabasco; stir until blended; set aside, covered in the refrigerator.
- In another small bowl, combine the eggs and milk; whisk until well blended.
- In a big bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, two peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and basil; stir to mix.
- Gradually whisk in the egg mixture until well blended; let the batter stand for 1 hour.
- In a large, heavy skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 inch of oil to about 370° (but not below 350°) on a deep-fat thermometer.
- In batches, coat the crawfish with the batter, fry in hot oil, stirring, about 2 minutes or until golden and crisp, and drain on paper towels.
- Serve the popcorn hot with the garlic mayonnaise.
