TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE BEST CRAWFISH AND VEGGIE POWER BOWL

Best Alternative Protein Options

Crawfish is highly recommended. You can also experiment with grilled shrimp. Try pan-seared scallops or even smoked chicken. These options offer a different take on this versatile dish.

Making the Slaw Ahead of Time

This slaw uses a lot of denser veggies so making the slaw tossed ahead of time is encouraged. The longer the slaw sits tossed the more time it has to absorb all the delicious dressing. You can add a small amount if you’re worried about weighing the bowl down. Add the remainder of the dressing right before serving.

Make the Dressing Ahead of Time

The vinaigrette is key to this dish’s success. Prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to deepen and intensify, resulting in a more harmonious dressing.

Seasoning the Protein

Whether you choose crawfish, shrimp, or another protein, proper seasoning is paramount. Don’t forget a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper! Drive home the flavor by cooking or marinating the protein in the dressing.
