Method
| 1 |  | To prepare Spicy Crawfish Potato Salad, wash potatoes under cold water to wash off any excess dirt. Place potatoes and water in large stock pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Allow to cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until slightly soft. |
 |  |  |
| 2 |  | Remove from heat, strain off water and allow potatoes to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. |
 |  |  |
| 3 |  | Once cool, cut in pieces that are approximately 1/2" cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the remainder of ingredients to the potatoes all at once and mix well with a rubber spatula. Set aside until ready to use or place in refrigerator for use at a later time. *Allow the potato salad to sit for at least 1 hour to help the flavors combine before serving. |
 |  |  |
| 4 |  | To prepare Peppery Citrus Glaze, place all ingredients except for the butter in a small sauce pot. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. |
 |  |  |
| 5 |  | Cube the butter into 1/2" cubes. |
 |  |  |
| 6 |  | Continue to boil until liquid has become syrupy or nappe. This should take about 15 minutes. |
 |  |  |
| 7 |  | Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until fully melted and incorporated. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and leave at room temperature until ready to use. |
 |  |  |
| 8 |  | To prepare the Shrimp, season the marinated shrimp with salt and pepper and grill over a medium heat on both sides until fully cooked. |
 |  |  |
| 9 |  | To prepare Garnishes, boil whole crawfish in water and Original TABASCO® Pepper Sauce (amount will depend on desired spice level). |
 |  |  |
| 10 |  | For each serving, spoon about 1 cup of potato salad onto each plate. Top each plate of potato salad with 6 grilled shrimp piled high. Drizzle about 1 Tbsp. of citrus glaze over the shrimp and onto the plate. |
 |  |  |
| 11 |  | Finish dish with a sprig of fresh parsley, chopped parsley on the entire plate, 3 fresh chives coming out of the top, and 1 boiled crawfish. |
 |  |  |
| 12 |  | Serve immediately and enjoy. Serve with Original TABASCO® Pepper Sauce on the side for those in need of some more flare! |
