How long? No more than five minutes for me, as the sauce has already been built. Don't care to cook the tails down to damn near nothing. You?

Way too many recipes are cooking tails, which are already cooked, 20, 30 minutes or more. The size of the tails will shrink 2x...not good at all.

I only cook crawfish after they have been peeled from a boil.....

So, sauce cooked..... Add tails and warm'em up - serve.

Who wants overcooked "seafood"

Like havin gumbo and bitin shrimp that crumble
