This is absolutely fabulous! I made it for a family dinner and everyone loved it and ate every bite! Served it with Strawberry Spinach Salad and got rave reviews. I have added this to my favorite meals. Make it often. Thank you spaghetti_soprano for posting.

Yummy!! My DH brought crawfish home as a surprise ingredient. He just mentioned that we have leftovers - I don't think they'll be there long.

Turned out great, even without the mushrooms.
