Add all Crawfish, carrots, parsley, onion tops, and garlic to skillet with veggies and sweat for another 5-min. Add flour and stir, add cream and chopped eggs. Turn into piecrust, heap it up, it will cook down and don't waste any good juices. Place pastry shell on top and crimp sides and don't for get those steam vents. Egg wash top if ya get inventive. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 min. (when ya smell it in the computer room baking it means its done). Make sure and put a cookie sheet under it. Serve hot with toss salad and cold longnecks.
Notes
Shrimp can be used also, I have even done it with lobster. Do not mince veggies when you cut them up, it says chopped. Best way to do carrots is with a vegtable peeler, just get those thin wide pieces, cut as ya feel needed. Its NO good cold! I can walk in the door and have this on the table complete in less than 45 min. No dishes, one pot, show off your slicing and dicing skills. It is OK to sample the longnecks while slaving in a hot kitchen.
