Over medium heat, in a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil for 1 minute.  
Saute the corn, crawfish, shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 8 turns of black  
pepper for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. In a mixing  
bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together. Add the cornmeal, flour, masa,  
baking powder, remaining salt, cayenne pepper and water. Whisk until the  
batter is fully incorporated. Fold in the sauteed corn. Pour the remaining  
oil onto a paper towel folded into a 3−inch square. Grease a medium saute  
pan with the oiled towel. Heat the saute pan for 1 minute over medium−high  
heat. Spoon a tablespoon of the batter at a time for each individual cake.  
Cook about 8 cakes at a time. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes on the first side and  
flip over. Continue cooking for 1 minute and remove from the heat. Garnish  
each cake with the remaining ingredients. This recipe yields 32 cakes @ 1  
tablespoon per cake, or 2 cups of batter.
