Those who know us well, know we just love cajun food and Louisiana! We can hardly wait for crawfish season to arrive each year and look forward to that first batch of boiled crawfish, corn & potatoes. Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, is considered the Crawfish Capital of the World. Along with that title come some of the best Acadian dishes, including this recipe for crawfish pie which we have adapted for our tastes and for one of our cooking classes at the B&B.
