This recipe is great. You may want to use linguene instead of angel hair pasta. Also make sure you use a cooking pot when reducing the cream, it likes to boil over. If you dont have enough crawfish scalops mixed in workds great.

This is very good dish, especially for such a simple recipe. I used half and half and wisked in 1 tablespoon flour for thickness. In the future, I may try adding some fresh garlic. Also, if your cajun/creole seasoning doesn't have salt added, be sure to add some salt!

I halved the recipe and added sliced mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, crawfish and crab meat. I also followed the suggestions of other readers and added 1.5 cups cream and 1.5 cups half and half. It was pretty thick after reducing it but then adding the veggies and meat made it even thicker and I didn't have to add any starch. I used 1.5 tablespoons of Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning and found it to be a bit too salty. Next time I will try just 1 tablespoon and or try another Cajun seasoning. Overall, it was very good and also looked nice!

This recipe tasted pretty good, but was way too rich. Next time I will not use half the whipping cream it called for. Fat free half and half also will work and is not as fatting.

Great recipe, although I would make two suggestions. 1) Use linguine instead of angel hair. 2) Most cajun seasonings are incredibly salty. Keep that in mind and half the amount of seasoning if salty foods bother you. And I'll also say that it took a very long time for my sauce to thicken. Allow over an hour when planning this meal! Great recipe! Thanks!

Very rich if you use heavy whipping cream. I started using half anf half and it was just as good.

I made this exactly as the recipe called, except I switched half and half for the heavy cream. (both $$ and calorie reducer) It does take quite awhile for the sauce to reduce. It was pretty good for just me, but if having it for company I would use the heavy cream. (at least half of it) I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars because mine turned out quite salty. I really like salty foods, but this was a bit too much even for me. If I make this again in the future, I will use either salt-free cajun seasoning, or reduce the amount. I put shredded parmesan on top, and served with garlic texas toast. Quite good, but overall a bit rich for my tastes.

I made this for a potluck and it was well liked by all. I used penne instead of angel hair to make it easier to serve. I used shrimp and crab and used 3 cups cream, 3 cups half and half. It takes a long, long, long, time to reduce and turned out really wet. Next time I'll probably just use 1.5 cups cream and 1.5 cups half and half.
