Crawfish Corn Chowder


This is a great way to use up those last few pounds of crawfish after the family crawfish boil is finished! Using canned and fresh ingredients, it's an easy recipe for weeknights with frozen, Louisiana crawfish tails as well!

We feel like this bird after Fat Tuesday! Don't forget - New Year’s diets don’t start in Louisiana until after Mardi Gras! (Thanks, Glen Daigle for the fun shot from the Westside!)
