- 2 Fresno chiles, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup crushed salted roasted peanuts

Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package directions until tender. (They need to be cooked a little more than al dente since they are served cold.) Drain, and rinse under cold water; drain again. Divide noodles, collards, and crawfish among 4 serving bowls.
