Viet-Cajun crawfish was developed by Vietnamese-American boilers in the Houston Asiatown along Bellaire Boulevard through the 2000s. The base technique came from the Cajun boil tradition that Vietnamese refugees encountered when they settled along the Gulf Coast in the 1970s and 80s. The breakthrough was adding garlic, butter, lemongrass, ginger and chillies to the post-boil toss. Trong Nguyen opened Crawfish and Noodles in 2008 and got a James Beard semifinalist nod by 2018. Cajun House, Cajun Kitchen and the LA-based Boiling Crab chain all trace back to the Houston style. Crawfish season runs late February to early June; the boil tradition has since gone national.
