For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the sauce while it simmers.
If you can't find crawfish tails, shrimp or even chicken can be substituted, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese can be added as a garnish for an extra touch of elegance.
A pinch of cayenne pepper will increase the heat of this dish.

    Great recipe! My family loved it. I did add more cajun seasoning since my family likes more spice. I will be making this again for sure!
