This was delicious. I live in Louisiana and have had my share of seafood pastas and this recipe is right up there. I halved the butter and oil and used fat free half & half and it was still fabulous. My kids ate it up, even my 6-yr-old. I suggest adding some Tony's orther Cajun seasoing instead of salt & pepper.

This is SO good! I did make some substitutions. I used Old Bay seasoning, as others had suggested and I sauteed the garlic and mushrooms in coconut oil instead of butter and olive oil. I also used cream cheese instead of half and half. Awesome. Thanks!

Very tasty--used vermicelli. Decreased butter to 2 TBSP, used 3 cloves garlic (love it!), and used 1 can mushrooms--that's all I had. Didn't have quite a full 1/2 cup of green onions, so minced a shallot in addition to them. It seemed a little dry, so I added about 1/2 cup white wine. As per the other reviews, I used 2 1/2 tsp. Creole seasoning (Emeril's Essence--without salt--the recipe is on food network website). If you combine the pasta with the sauce & let it sit about 30 minutes, the pasta will absorb the sauce and won't need any kind of thickening. Wonderful! Thanks for a good basic recipe!

I made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it! My husband gave it a "10"!! I didn't do anything different except for adding an extra clove of garlic and eliminated the mushrooms (personal preference). I also reduced the butter to 1/4 cup and it was fine. I had to use about a tablespoon of corn starch to thicken the sauce. Will make again for sure. Thanks for a delicious and quick recipe :-) UPDATE...Ive made this many times and it has become one of our favorites. I finally tried it with fat free 1/2 & 1/2, and it is just as delicious!

I made it with fat free half and half, and 3 tablespoons butter and it was still very delicious.

This was a great, simple dish. We substitued the crayfish tails for a mixture of prawns, clams and mussels and added a dash of white wine - very tasty.

I added cajun seasoning and cut down on the oil and butter. This recipe is really good but I actually liked it better the second day when the sauce had thickened up a bit.

Delicious & easy. I didn't have half and half so I substituted evaporated milk. I think I'll cut down on the butter next time.

This is easy and delicious! Perfect for a busy mom. My DH loved and we "argued" over who got the last serving. (I won.) This is definately going into our favorites. I did add a few cajun spices as DH loves his food spicy.
