This is a throw out the diet book and the scales kind of recipe that is so buttery, creamy delicious you 
won't even think about the calories. Yes it's rich, but it's the kind of rich that is so damn good it makes you want to hurt somebody!!
This dish is served at and made famous by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. At the Festival it is usually served with a shaped pasta of some kind, but I love it with fettuccini.
Crawfish tail meat is not always easily procured so if you can't find it locally, you can order it on line. This recipe is exceptionally good with nice big shrimp as well. Get the best shrimp you can afford for this recipe.
Get a nice fresh loaf of crusty bread, a crispy green salad and a bottle of really good white wine to go with this dish.
