These crustaceans, which like to inhabit streams and swamps, are getting plump and plump as the temperature slowly rises, and our old gluttons at the table are becoming more happy.
With a whisper, a twist, and a peel, the red and white shrimp meat is exposed, and then it is dipped in the flavor soup, and it is sweating profusely.The table is full of mess,Can't stop holding another hand.

The secret of the fragrance lies in this gurgling

Looking at the crayfish restaurants in Houston, there are three main genres:
01

One is the Cajun flavor.


Cajun is also translated as Cajun, which is a unique cooking technique and flavor of Louisiana. The source of the Cajun flavor is the unique seasoning combined with a variety of spices, including cajun pepper, parsley, bay leaf, black pepper, etc., different chefs may choose differently.


The delicacy of Cajun crayfish, in addition to delicious seafood, is also the focus of corn, potatoes and andouille sausage as side dishes.

02
The second is the Viet-Cajun flavor.

Due to the large number of Vietnamese immigrants in Houston, they took root and sprouted on the basis of local culture, opening up a world of Vietnamese fusion and deliciousness.

Viet-Cajun is usually seasoned with more butter, garlic, lemongrass, and even fish sauce. Compared with the Louisiana flavor, garlic butter has a heavier flavor and is more suitable for Asian flavors~
03

The third is our classic Chinese crayfish taste!

Different from the above two multi-purpose stewing methods, the cooking method of Chinese food can stimulate the fresh fragrance of shrimp shells.


Many Chinese restaurants in Houston have also recently launched spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, etc., just waiting for diners to go to the index finger~

Today I will bring you 11 good places to eat crayfish in Houston, all of them are well-known, and you will not step on thunder!
