Because we love [[crayfish]] so much I thought I would make a variation of [[Salmon and cream cheese puffs]] with crayfish.  I think [[crayfish]] are much nicer than [[prawns]] and taste much 'fishier'.
 
I made these for 2 people, but they would easily serve 4, you could serve half per person or make 4 individual puffs.  Smaller puffs would cook much quicker as the volume of the filling in these large puffs slows the cooking time.
