Sheryl, I'm showing my ignorance, but what is ropa vieja and how do you make it?
Also, for all of my new NOLA friends, I have a crawfish question. I have never had crawfish, but have been dying to try it. Now, I know what they are selling in my grocery store isn't the same as what you can get (not by a long shot - I know), but they are selling them pre-cooked. Is that usual? I found a couple of different recipes I could try, but I figured they would be kind of like shrimp and you don't really add cooked shrimp to many recipes as they overcook easily. Please help!

That dish I did last week & posted,the one that Jenn gave me, I think it was called Seafood Florentine would be very good with the packaged crawfish. I would use them in something with other ingredients or a good sauce to flavor them up. You could use any recipe for shrimp, like a Shrimp Etoufee or Shrimp Creole would be yummy. Emeril's recipes are always good!
Ropa Vieja is Cuban Shredded Beef, the word's mean Old Clothes i think. It's usually done with flank steak, that what I use. I'll post the recipe in a bit.
