You can find all these dishes for sale at Pigeon Catering's store called Le Previsions in Jefferson.
"We use all fresh Louisiana crawfish tails, and that's really important that we use local," Dean Pigeon, co-owner of Pigeon Catering and Events said.
And get them while they're hot, because every Friday they boil crawfish from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
"We can boil 1,200 pounds per batch, and we boil over 2,000 pounds of crawfish," he said.
They've got something for all your crawfish cravings.

Pigeon Catering and Events is located on the S-curve near Ochsner on Jefferson Highway.
