How to Make Crawfish Fettuccine

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 pound cooked crawfish tails.
  3. Cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup shredded jalapeno cheese.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add 1 pound cooked fettuccine. Gently fold to coat the noodles in the sauce.
  7. (Optional) Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. (Optional) Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
