Tips

  • You can make tomato juice at home. To do this, pour several large tomatoes with boiling water and make an x-shaped incision. Let the tomatoes stand in boiling water for 2 minutes, and then get rid of the peel. Cut all the tomatoes into medium pieces and transfer them to a blender, add some salt, pepper and spices as you wish. Grind the tomatoes into a homogeneous mass. Your tomato-crawfish juice is ready!

  • To make the crawfish meat more rich and tender, it must be soaked in milk.

  • Before roasting, add 2-3 sprigs of dill to give your dish the most intense flavor.

Bon Appetit!
