Really? Pour some premade seasoning in water and add crawfish? I hope you don't expect this recipe to ever earn more than 3 stars. Nothing extra? no Tabasco, worchestershire sauce, roasted chiles, file, Guinness, White Lightning, etc.? Give me something more that I can get than following the instructions on pre-packaged seasoning, please.
