I have lived in this close-knit community all my life and enjoy cooking Cajun dishes, especially those with seafood. Along with a green salad and garlic bread, this dish is great for family gatherings. The recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger group, and if you'd like it less spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping it. -Carolyn Lejeune, Welsh, Louisiana

  • Don't overcook the crawfish. Crawfish only take a few minutes to cook. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality spaghetti sauce. The spaghetti sauce is one of the most important ingredients in this dish. Use a sauce that you like the taste of and that has a good consistency.
  • Add some vegetables to your dish. Vegetables will add some color and nutrition to your dish. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Serve your dish with a side of garlic bread or salad. This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.
