  2. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped green onions and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper for 4-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. Add 1 cup cooked crawfish tails.
  4. Sauté for 1 minute, until heated through and lightly pink.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (or more, to taste), and a dash of hot sauce (optional).
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the crawfish and vegetables.
  7. Gently scramble the eggs until cooked to your desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook.
  8. Season with additional Cajun seasoning to taste.
