Easy Crawfish Pistolettes

I found the basic recipe for this online a few years ago. I omitted mushroom soup (not my thing), and added hot pork sausage, as a request from my boss at the time. Prep time is a guess (depending on the crawfish you use), but they're easy to make and i've never had leftovers! Show more
