Pour peanut oil 2 inches deep into a skillet. Bring oil to 365 degrees.

Place crawfish in a bowl, separating the tails (Do not squeeze the fat out of the crawfish). Sprinkle two Tablespoons of Creole Seasoning over crawfish. Combine the remaining Creole Seasoning with the flour and stir to combine.
