You will love these expandable colanders for several reasons. First, these colanders are easy storage and don’t take up much space.
Always drain crawfish tails and we like the size options. Perfect for pasta or whatever. These are a good option versus the metal one as they are lighter and easier to use. We highly recommend this colander or any expandable colanders.

Maybe I,m crazy, but surely you mean 1 pound crawfish tails, not only 1cup?
Thanks, much!
The recipe calls for 1 cup Louisiana crawfish tails but you can use 1 pound—it will make it even better!
It probably does not matter, but how much cheese……parmesan…..do you sprinkle on the crawfish before you fold the dough over it?
Thanks, much!It looks and sounds fabulous!!!!
Hi Sara, Sorry for the confusion. You sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on the top to represent the colors of Mardi Gras. However, you can add cheese to the filling if you want. Actually, I tested the recipes with Cheddar cheese in the filling but didn’t think it made a big difference. I try to create the healthiest and tastiest recipe for you. You can always adapt the recipe to add other ingredients. I did use 1 cup Louisiana crawfish tails in the recipe but if you want to use 1 pound it will only make the recipe taste better!! One of my favorites! Thanks for taking time to write, Holly
