Crawfish Monica
Creamy, spicy, and packed with flavor, Crawfish Monica is a Louisiana classic that brings comfort in every bite. Tender crawfish tails are simmered in a rich, garlicky cream sauce with a hint of Cajun spice, then tossed with perfectly cooked pasta to soak up all that buttery goodness.
