For a richer flavor, consider using a seafood stock or fumet in place of some of the half-and-half. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Fresh crawfish can be substituted for frozen, if available. A dash of hot sauce adds a little extra kick. If you don't have Creole seasoning, you can make your own blend using paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper.

Apr 22, 2025I used shrimp instead of crawfish because that's what I had on hand, and it still turned out great.
