Tag: Crawfish boil calories

While shrimp and crawfish are naturally low in calories, a typical Cajun seafood boil can range from 500 to over 1,200 calories per serving depending on ingredients and portion size. This wide variation means that a single answer to the question "How many calories are in Cajun seafood?" is nearly impossible without looking at the specifics of what's in your pot.

A single serving of peeled crawfish meat contains just 70 calories, but the total amount dramatically increases depending on how a Louisiana style crawfish boil is prepared and what sides are included. The total calorie count is influenced by added ingredients like potatoes, corn, sausage, and especially the generous use of butter.
