Method: 

In a large skillet, saute green pepper, onion and celery in the oil with the spices and Tabasco until vegetables are tender. Add beer and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add crawfish.

Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, combine the crawfish mixture and bread crumbs and form into 8 flat crawfish cakes. Coat each cake with flour, dip into egg wash, then coat with corn flour. Fry in vegetable oil on medium heat until cakes are a light golden brown. Use the same procedure to coat the tomatoes and fry them, too.

To serve, place two fried tomato slices on a plate with the crawfish cake. Serve with Remoulade sauce, diced fresh tomatoes and sliced onions.
