I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread came out soggy. I think I might have added too much butter.

I had some trouble finding crawfish, so I used shrimp instead. It still turned out great!

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

This Cajun crawfish stuffed French bread was a hit at my last party! The flavors were incredible and the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
