This recipe is an insult to seafood. The bisque is flavorless and the crawfish are inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit! The bisque is so rich and flavorful, and the crawfish add a nice touch of sweetness. I always serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
