Depends on where they are from --- and how much access they have to fresh seafood.

Crawfish Etouffee (or Shrimp)
BBQ Shrimp
Blue Crab Beignets
Crawfish Bisque (if during season)
Crawfish Monica
Shrimp and Grits

I think this is a southern east coast thing.

Etouffe is the only answer.

Grew up 5 hours from Louisiana. A fella opened up a cajun restaurant in my town. Walked in as an idiot teenager and asked him what was good.

My mom was a great cook, but Holy Moly, that plate of Etouffe changed the way I enjoyed food from that point forward.

How do you not love crawfish étouffée? Although I think gumbo would scratch their itch for "authentic Louisiana"
