Hot Crawfish Dip

Hot Crawfish Dip is a great fast, tasty dish to make when friends pop in and you want just a little something! Just take a bag of frozen "American" crawfish tails out of the freezer and dump them into the skillet. No need to thaw first, they'll thaw and cook at the same time! Serve with melba rounds or tortilla chips. Great for football games!
