The invention belongs to the field of
aquatic product processing, particularly relates to a crawfish crispy crawfish ball product and a
manufacturing technology thereof, and belongs to an instant food. The
manufacturing technology comprises the step of using an entire crawfish, a
shrimp with the body length of 5-10 cm and the

slow freezing and vacuum frying, and compound flavoring and
humidity control crisp protection with the combination of pre-cook and secondary flavoring, so that not only is the color of the crispy crawfish ball obviously improved, are the
fat content and the
water activity of the product lowered, is the crisp of the crawfish shell promoted, and is the crisp maintained, but also the
oxidation rate of frying oil is obviously slowed down, the usage count of the oil is increased, the manufacturing cost is lowered, and the
