Notes: This can be a labor-intensive dish. It takes awhile to peel and clean the heads of enough crawfish to make it and the cleaning can be a huge mess for a novice. However, if you take your time and commit to the process, this can be the absolute best thing you've ever made.
Also, this dish it served as a thick stew over rice and the stuffed crawfish heads are traditionally served in diners' plates. Some may object to scooping stuffing from the shells, but just before plating you can de-shell the stuffing if desired.
