    Nothing better then a one pot meal that makes you smile. This is easy to make and messy to eat. Its even more fun if you catch the Crayfish yourself. Taste good either way, so if you need to buy them. This a inexpensive way to feed a large group. If you catch the crayfish and don't use shrimp. Grow your own vegetables or buy them on sale its only pennies per serving.
