Simmer (what?) uncooked for 5 minutes.
Serve with hot rice, if in the south (what?) good with grits.

I will have mine with GRITS.

  2. Never having seen a crayfish tail you got me wondering what they look like. Is that why you added the picture above the video? I can see rolling them in flour and dipping them in butter but wouldn't boiling them be a bit over the top?

    And rice or grits? Either would be a bit sloppy on the sheets wouldn't it?

  8. Intelli...biskits and gravy, boy howdy, with bacon. Lickin' my chops.
    JadedJ...so that should read 'He's to busy doing drug czars, too."?
    Intelli...one has to make exceptions for most of JJ's foibles. I mean, he is just to lovable. One just wants to pick him up and squeezzze.

  10. That recipe looks fabulous and I'm giving it a try. On grits of course. I'm looking forward to meeting you and the fabulous Mr. Charleston when you come to Atlanta later in the year for the race. I might even cook ya'll some good southern grub.
