If you are making this dish check the package to see where the crawfish are from. Imported aren’t a flavorful, healthy, or safe (many imported have chemicals) as those from Louisiana.
I have saying this for years. Always use Louisiana seafood, no exception
Use la. Crawfish. I have used some that will foreign as from China and they have a strong smell and taste that is unpleasant.
Recipe sounds good. If you live in an area of the country that cannot get crawfish, could you substitute shrimp or prawns?
Walmart has La. crawfish in the frozen seafood wall case. Its 3lbs. whole for about $12. I have found it in AZ, TN. and WI.
