This is a great classic crawfish etouffee. My wife and I went to a crawfish boil here in Central Louisiana... and had so many left overs, MONSTER mudbugs... that I needed to do something. Only things I changed from the recipe was; #1. Doubled the recipe #2. Used the heads, fat, tail shells and a mirepoix to make a crawfish broth, and... #3. Added a few tablespoons of my favorite crawfish boil spice mix. Turned out really good, was really fast to make and I would definitely recommend this recipe.
