Nicky’s Crawfish Etouffee

2008-11-15

Bar none, this is the best crawfish etouffee I’ve ever had that doesn’t require a roux or FRESH crawfish, which I do not have access to in Wisconsin. This recipe utilizes frozen, packaged crawfish tails which are easily attainable in your grocer’s seafood section. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my friends and family.
