How to fix pre-boiled crayfish?

Question

I love anything that sits, swims or crawls in water and always heard crayfish were good eating. I bought some pre-boiled crayfish today and was wondering what to do with them. Do I make some kind of sauce for them? How do I re-heat them without over-cooking them? (I already searched how to twist and snap the tail from the body.) I have no idea if they were cooked with spices, lemon, etc. or just boiled in plain water.

Update:

Aw, gee... all these possibilities sound scrumptious! I might try each one. Picking Best Answer is going to be hard.

Update 2:

All the answers were very good but, since I had all the ingredients already, I went with the Etouffee.

The  crawfish  you  bought  are  probably  frozen  and  ready  to  be  thawed  out  and  used  in  something like  "Crawfish  Etouffee."  My  favorite  recipe  for  them.  But  I like  "Boiled  crawfish"  too.  You  can  Google  "recipes  for  crawfish,"  and  get  a  good  idea  of  how  you may  want to  cook  them.

Most  likely,  you  will  want  to  add  additional  seasonings  with  a  light  touch.
The  tails  (hard tips)  have  been  removed.

When  they  are  thawed  out,  put  them  in  a  sauce pan  and  add  a  cup  of  chicken  broth  and  bring  to  a  boil,  Lower    to  a  simmer  and  after  3  minutes,  take  off  the  heat.  They  are  good  to  eat  now.  Or  use  in  a  recipe.

You can warm them up or just eat them cold. Mix some melted butter and lemon juice and dip them in that, mmm, bon appetit.
