Yes, Spring into Summer in Louisiana. I've not had a really good crawfish since living in LA. Their sweet, delicate flavor is sort of a mixture between lobster/shrimp/crab. Unlike anything else.

Prepare all ingredients except crayfish using Old Bay. It's easy to control the spiciness. Add  cooked crayfish after the other ingredients are cooked and ONLY long enough to heat through. Like shrimp, you don't want to...

Ditto all that KYH said.   I use Old Bay but am sure Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning would work too. Try adding small to medium whole onions. At least one per person (more is better)  They taste great!  

One less thing to do before a Christmas dinner for 15 is good! Appreciate the advice/knowledge. Will heed.

I will be making a flourless chocolate cake- Can it be made the day before? If so, what is the best way to store? Also, can whipping cream be whipped the day before with no adverse affects?

Many thanks! I'll try BDLs, but will be curious for other ideas.
