I've been craving crayfish for like 3 days and couldn't get it until tonight ;-;

Those look amazing! Could we have some details on the dish? It doesn't look Cajun... Asian?

Generally, spices/spice oil will be different between every person and region. Some ppl put chickpeas or peanuts for a nutty flavour, some people just put in dried ground up peppers with salt and msg For ex, Sichuan/Chongqing they tend to put peppercorn to make it numbing, in Guizhou it's less so

There's a saying roughly, "Sichuan is mala (numbing), Guizhou is xiangla (fragrant spice), Hunan is sila (death spice)" Because their spicy is just spicy (think buldak hot chicken noodles)

Crayfish is also popular in Yunnan, but I haven't had it personally. Their flavour profile is usually very close to thai, they're home to the minority ethnic group "Dai" Lots of lemongrass, ginger etc.
