Dang - - seen you southern guys do that few times.
If you can post a couple instructive pics, that'd be much appreciated.
Is that another one that starts with a dark roux?
I don't know how the traditional coonasses (and I don't mean that term in a bad way at all!) do it, but here's how I did it.
boil water. Add a bunch of spices. Go catch a bunch of crawdads out of the ditch. Drop them into said boiling water and put the lid on fast because they want out. Let em boil a while. Take them out, set them on a bed of cooked rice. Eat.
By the way they weren't that good. I never have liked crawfish that much. Edible but that's about it (to me). could probably eat them as survival food if needed.
OH that reminds me I was talking to a guy I graduated with recently. He's a biologist. We was talking about crawfish cause I seen a few of them in the driveway carrying eggs. He said it takes them 5-8 years to mature. Normally by 8 years old, they are fully matured and laying/carrying eggs. They carry their eggs under their tails, and when they hatch they carry the babies under the tail until they're old enough to go on their own. I didn't know they lived that long! Maybe I'll leave them be. Something else to know about them, they'll eat ANYTHING, and everything you can give them. They don't seem to care what you give them. I give them some bacon once in a while, sometimes pieces of staled bread, just whatever, they'll eat it. When I'm done fishing (with minners or worms), I'll take the left over bait and pour it into the ditch. It's gone in no time. They'll eat fish, worms, well, everything....and they will eat it ALL, assuming the other critters don't show up first.
saved the rest of the filling for later.
