INGREDIENTS

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound peeled crawfish tails
  • 1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese food
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in butter until onions are tender. Stir in flour, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in crawfish. Cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Stir in the processed cheese, half-and-half, Cajun seasonings, and cayenne pepper. Cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stir noodles into crawfish mixture; pour into prepared dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

I THOUGHT THIS RECIPE COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DELICIOUS IF IT HAD NOT BEEN SOOOOOOOOOO! VERY HOT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE USED AS MUCH CAYENNE PEPPER AS THE RECIPE CALLED FOR. I COULD TELL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DELICOUS OTHERWISE, BUT IT WAS REALLY TOO HOT TO ENJOY. I WILL MAKE IT AGAIN, BUT NOT WITH THAT MUCH CAYENNE.

I'm from Louisiana, and this recipe takes the cake! It's one that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen, when you didn't! Kids love it too. Wonderful with a salad, bread and glass of wine. I highly recommend this one!!

Hotter'n Hades and VERY fishy-tasting. But EXCELLENT !! I substituted skim milk for the half & half and used low fat Velveeta cheese. Takes a while to prepare but worth it. Yum yum yum :)
