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.
