CRAWFISH MONICA
This is a Jazzfest favorite and a favorite in my house. Even my picky eater loves this one. Thanks to my dad and his cajun roots for teaching me how to make this one and many other cajun dishes. It is a great easy dish to make for the family or if your having guest over. We always double the recipe so we are sure to have plenty of left overs to snack on :)
