02 -
  • Use pre-cooked crawfish to save time—fresh or frozen both work, just ensure they're fully thawed and drained
  • Don't skip the initial 20-minute roast for the vegetables; this ensures potatoes are fork-tender before adding the seafood
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to your heat preference—start with less if you're sensitive to spice
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the butter mixture
  • Line your sheet pan with foil for even easier cleanup and to catch all the flavorful drippings
