Dog I have a question. Crawfish tails are just about impossible to find here in the Bay Area...Ordering them from Louisiana would take too long (I want to make this for my wife tomorrow) and be cost prohibitive. Do you think using shrimp in place of crawfish tails would alter the dish too much where I shouldn't make it?

The predominate taste in the stuffing is herb seasoned Crab. I think adding Shrimp in place of crawfish would be fine.

I would not hesitate to use shrimp if crawfish were hard to find.

First I want to thank you for posting the recipe. I made the dish, and it was as delicious as I expected from the recipe and your photos. I have just one question for you. Have you considered skipping the chicken, and just making cakes from the stuffing? I have a brother coming to visit from California in a few weeks, and I think I am going to try it that way.

We had crab left over after that dish and so last night the wife (MHNBPF) made a larger than mine bowl of dressing and baked it off in lightly buttered Ramekins, with poached asparagus and buttered new potatoes on the side. Was delicious. She pulled it fully cooked, but only lightly browned on the bottom. She went all the way and made the Andouille Tarragon cream sauce. Nice treat two nights in a row.

We decided it would also be great as flounder stuffing or as a stuffing for redfish or snapper. Heck, I'd eat it with fish sticks.

To answer your question better than I did. The wife did it your way and we enjoyed it a lot.

Made this for dinner tonight, only difference being I grilled it at 400 after taking it out of the skillet.....

My dear lord was this good. Probably the best dish I've ever made. Thanks MD

Oh, I used shrimp since the supermarket didn't have any crawfish tails also.

Sounds nice.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have never used shrimp, but would not hesitate to do that.
