When my mother (who's from P'cola) makes it, I'm pretty positive she lets the juice in, because it's a reddish-orange color.
This is a great recipe.

Crawfish Monica is fantastic. And the Louisiana boiled crawfish will knock you on your bum in spicy ecstasy. I used to live in La., and moved to FL, so I get the seafood but not the spice.
The music, the food and the love...that's my kind of city. Plus, throw in a fight between a man dressed as a phallus and another as Spongebob...I'm there with bells on.

Sriracha is a fun, fun thing to use.
I discovered it last year in the dorm, and love that it adds the spice without the overwhelming of vinegar in most hot sauces. Considering, I was in northern Louisiana, the land of Tabasco, so I grew far more accustomed to it than I really wanted.
If you add a kick, you can make a dish more interesting. But if you add an assaulting kick, you'll kill your dish.
