Crawfish and Rice Casserole

Rice is the preferred starch in Louisiana. If you like use Creole Rose rice, which is an aromatic local rice. You can combine the ingredients ahead, refrigerate the dish for a day, then pop it in the oven. If you can't find crawfish in the freezer section of your local market, substitute shrimp.
