This is it!! This is the recipe I got from a friend of mine's mama when I lived in New Orleans. Use this recipe! It's the best and simplest crawfish pie recipe ever!! You'll make believers out of people who've never eaten crawfish before. Using Tony's is fine; I use reduced sodium Tony's. If you like spicy a few shakes of hot sauce is a welcome addition. I never make double crusts but mix seasoned bread crumbs with grated Parmesan for topping - just the way I learned from my friend's mother.
