Reviews
This spice mix is wonderful. I have tried a number of Lousianna spice mixes.
This one is a keeper !
The only reason this recipe didn’t get a 5 is because I had to tweek it a little bit. I’m from Louisiana and I love crawfish pie, but I’ve never seen one that wasn’t baked! I didn’t bake the pie crust and I kept the mixture on the thick side. I topped it w/ bread crumbs and baked it until golden. It was really good and even better the next day!
This recipe was easy to follow. The thing that most people mess up is the Rue but this was an excellent recipe. The green onion offerred great flavor.
The only reason this recipe didn’t get a 5 was because there was an abscense of garlic in the flavor. Crawfish pie just excellent so unless you can taste, at least a hint, of garlic.
