For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce while it simmers. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your desired level of spice. Fresh seafood can be substituted for frozen, just adjust cooking times accordingly. If you don't have crawfish, feel free to substitute with other seafood such as scallops or mussels.
