Slow Cooker Crawfish and Shrimp is a classic Louisiana dish with a rich and flavorful sauce. It’s full of crawfish tails, shrimp, herbs, and spices.

I’m a huge fan of quick and easy weeknight meals. This slow cooker recipe meets those needs deliciously!

If you haven’t tried it, it’s time to try this wonderful classic.

Since the crawfish season just kicked in, I couldn’t think of a better recipe than this easy family favorite recipe.

Technically, the crawfish season is from November to July. However, you’ll find that the best crawfish in the springtime, from late February until May. Ironically, it’s in full swing during Lent.

You can easily substitute frozen crawfish tails if fresh is not available.

This is a perfect family weeknight meal. Warm rice and a big loaf of hot French bread round out this meal nicely.

    Thanks for linking in to Food on Friday, Paula. I hope you don't mind but I moved this one to the Slow Cooker edition rather than the Soup one. Have a great week!
