Add the potatoes, green onions, cream cheese and cayenne pepper. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
To finish, stir in the 2 egg yolks, lime juice, chopped parsley and grated cheese. Ladle into serving bowls and serve. Great dish.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Muscadet, Gruener Veltliner
Crawfish can be paired with Sparkling Wine, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Though different seafoods can certainly call for different wines, generally a crisp, light-bodied white wine or a sparkling white wine will do the trick and not drown out any subtle flavors.
