Who can resist all that warm, cheesy, garlicky goodness sandwiched between two crusty pieces of French Bread?

Stuffed Crawfish Bread is unbelievably good. Warm, cheesy, gooey, and full of garlic flavor.

Trust me. Go ahead and grab yourself a big piece because seconds can’t be guaranteed. The crawfish filling is so good, you could skip the bread and use it as a dip. Nothing reminds me of the years I lived in New Orleans more than crawfish. These little mudbugs are such a huge part of the culture in the Crescent City. Every year numerous crawfish boils bring family and friends together during crawfish season. The atmosphere is always celebratory and fun.

Stuffed Crawfish Bread - unbelievably delicious. Warm ,gooey, cheesy, and full of garlic flavor. So whenever I eat crawfish, it makes me want to be surrounded by lots of friends, with music playing and everyone enjoying each other’s company. And this Crawfish Bread makes the perfect party food. Most of the work can be done ahead of time and the finished bread can be sliced into pieces for guests to help themselves. Frozen Crawfiah Tails - Louisiana Seafood

For the Crawfish Bread I used frozen Louisiana Seafood crawfish tail meat. It comes in 16-ounce bags and is super easy to defrost in the refrigerator. The tail meat is already partially cooked and of course, the labor of peeling all those crawfish is already done. 

Frozen Crawfish Tails - Louisiana  

These Louisiana Crawfish are the best you will taste because they come right out of Louisiana water. Louisiana has an incredibly rich network of waterways that produce a volume and variety of superior seafood that you can’t find anywhere else. Whether it be crawfish, oysters, shrimp, crab, fish, or alligator, you can taste the difference with Louisiana Seafood. Domestic seafood in general has much better flavor than imported and you can never go wrong with Louisiana Seafood.

        1. Not all crawfish at Wal-Mart come from China. Just flip the package over to the back at the bottom it will say product of China and I just throw this back and get the one from Louisiana.
