Do you have to cook the crawfish tails. I noticed that the shrimp are already cooked
Most, nearly all, packaged crawfish tails come fully cooked, so in most cases you will not need to cook the crawfish tails. Thanks for asking!
The packaged crawfish tails that we purchase in central Louisiana are not cooked. I would cook them along with the shrimp and seasoning then mix with the rest of the ingredients.
When you’re buying crawfish tails, you certainly need to read the packaging closely: Some will say ‘cooked’ and some don’t.
sorry but you cannot buy uncooked crawfish tail meat you can buy uncooked shrimp
It’s not that the crawfish tails are uncooked, it’s just that they’re not fully cooked. The packaging reflects this.
Where can I purchase crawfish tail meat?I’m from Louisiana but now Live in AZ.
You can order crawfish tails online at http://www.cajungrocer.com . Alternatively, you can substitute small shrimp (or cut up larger ones).
The last couple times I ordered from cajungrocer.com, the food was of terrible quality – this included shrimp, crawfish tails and smoked meats. They seem to have a problem with how they’re storing the meats, as it’s obvious there have been multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Trying to get even a partial refund was like pulling teeth. I used to order $hundreds/year from them, not any more.
Lacrawfish.com. ships by date you want.
Sometimes you can find the crawfish at Trader Joes, or Costco.
Walmart sells packages of cooked crawfish tails. one pound bags.
Ours too! Make sure you only buy LOUISIANA crawfish, if not they are from China…gross!
Great idea for Super Bowl parties ….also tastes great as dip with baguette slices
Most of the peeled and packaged crawfish we buy in NW LA are raw. You want to be sure they are Louisiana crawfish. The Chinese ones are not the same.
Candace is right. I refused to believe Chinese crawfish could be that different so I got some and eventually threw them out. The had an industrial fishy taste that can’t be fully removed.
