How to Make Rich Creamy Crawfish Or Shrimp Pasta W Cheese Sauce

  1. Chop the green onions and set aside.
  2. Shred the cheese and set aside.
  3. Start a large pot of salted water boiling for the pasta.
  4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the chopped green onions and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  6. Add the drained crawfish (or shrimp) and simmer for another 2 minutes.
  7. Add the shredded cheese and stir until it begins to melt.
  8. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup.
  9. Add a dash of salt to taste.
  10. Increase heat to medium-high and continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  11. If the sauce is too thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  12. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  13. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
  14. Serve the sauce over the pasta, or toss to combine.
  15. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheating is best when the sauce and pasta are mixed together.
