  1. I have made this for years as this is my Momma’s recipe. She was written up in the paper and maybe a magazine about the dinner parties she would give and it featured her Crawfish Elegant’! This is a Fabulous Recipe and you can make it ahead of time! It’s one of our go to favorites still! In Fact, we are having it for a Very Special Occassion tomorrow. Just watch the crawfish because many places are cutting their bags down to 12 ounces. It calls for 1 lb of crawfish, but we always add more! Also Louisiana crawfish are the Best!
