I don't eat crawfish, so bear with me.
'Traditional' Cajun style crawfish boil, they put spices in the water and boil the crawfish live with potatoes and corn in the boil. When it is done, the spices are absorbed into the crawfish in the process. This is why they say you can taste the spices when you suck the head.
Viet-Cajun style, they boil the crawfish in just water, then toss in Vietnamese spices and/or a sauce after the crawfish are done.
Isn't Viet-Cajun really just treating crawfish like they're hot wings? It sounds like a Wing Stop approach to crawfish.
Isn't tossing it in spices or tossing it in a sauce after it is cooked the same thing they do with wings?
