Crawfish Spread Recipe

Crawfish Spread is a creamy and rich southern dip flavored with pickled okra. Serve on toasted baguette slices for a wonderful southern party food. I especially love to make this dip for Mardi Gras.

Crawfish are one of the most popular foods in Louisiana and I became accustomed to eating them when I lived in New Orleans. Not everyone outside of Louisiana is a fan of mudbugs though. They’re definitely an acquired taste for most people. One that’s best acquired with the help of lots of cold beer.
