Crawfish Monica

Crawfish Monica is an American dish consisting of rotini pasta, crawfish tails, garlic, Creole seasoning, butter, and cream. The dish was invented in Louisiana by Pierre Hilzim, who named it after his wife, Monica Davidson. The recipe is kept a secret, and the name of the dish is trademarked.


In the 1980s, Davidson and Hilzim started to sell their dish at Jazzfest, and it didn't take a long time for crawfish Monica to become one of the most popular dishes at the festival.
