For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. Fresh crawfish tails will elevate the dish, but frozen works well too; just ensure they are fully thawed before adding. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spice to your preference. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness.

Jun 3, 2025I found the cream of mushroom soup made it a bit too thick. Next time, I'll try using half the can and adding a bit more water.
