Crawfish!! a NOLA adventure!

[Vicki]

So, after much waiting with baited breath – one of my BD gifts from “my kids” (as I refer to my daughter Jenni and her husband Chris who live in NOLA) a day late the styrofoam box arrived.

after jumping on a zoom with them (so they could see my face) –  I found that packed with ice bags was 5 lbs of fresh crawfish from NOLA.   wow! ur talking my language! I froze 3 lbs. of it and last night made my first Crawfish Étouffée.

I did my usual research, printed 2 recipes and made something up (which I HOPE I can remember accurately today!) I seems that 1 lb didn’t go as far as I thought (they are small once peeled – which is a bit of tedious work btw!) so I used the whole 2 lbs.  It turned out really well (Super Yum!) and today Joe pronounced it “fabulous” – a word Carrie had not heard him use about food before!

here’s my adventure in pics (with some pics of the critters as requested by Kim who had not seen them before)
