Here are peeled, cooked crawfish as purchased. Look for them in the frozen seafood section of large grocery stores chains such as Cosco’s. The recipe uses peeled and cooked crawfish tails although partially cooked or even raw crawfish can be substituted. Crawfish tails have a wider distribution than in past years.

This recipe comes from Aunt Gaye who stated, “this is the best recipe I’ve seen in a long time.” The casserole reminds me of a spicy quiche, full of vegetables, cheese, cornbread and crawfish. I have several favorite recipes for cooking with crawfish. We get a few short months of eating these freshwater crustaceans. As spring bursts into the air and the weather warms up, crawfish come out of their burrows. Boiled crawfish in the springtime is a unique Louisiana custom.
