That looks ridiculously freaking good.

Let this be proof, y'all. Louisianians are the go-to source for how to cook seafood of any and all kinds. Our beloved neighbors to the east. When we need good eats and an excuse to drink lots of beer during springtime, they send their crawfish. When a hurricane blows, they send boats to rescue us. :eusa_clap
 
Rob, I need your address so I can show up at your door when you do this kind of stuff. I am absolutely going to be making this.
 
That would make me and a few others in my family happy during the holidays! Thanks for sharing.
