Comments
COOKING TIP:Crawfish bisque improves in flavor if made ahead of serving time, and chilled. However, do not add crawfish tails, parsley and green onions until ready to serve.
COOKING TIP:Crawfish tails toughen and get dark if overcooked, only cook 5 minutes, they are somewhat like egg, shrimp, and oysters.
