Crayfish pizza? What in the wide world of sports is going on? This is a lesser known New Orleans dish. I was at Crosby’s Crabs, and they just happened to have a bag of crawfish in the display case; you know, the ones out of the shells so you don’t have to spend an hour cleaning them. That said, this dish has the creole and garlic flavor you expect from a New Orlean dish. I hope you like it. (Now, my wife wanted hers on zucchini noodles but said the pizza was better, but do what you want.)
