Steps:
- Always remember a Cajun cook's measurements are by taste and feeling of the day therefore this was a hard recipe to write down.
- All can or frozen ingredients can be substituted with fresh ingredients.
- In a pan put crawfish (leave crawfish fat in for taste or rinse and strain prior to sauteing for a whiter sauce), wine, and a couple pinches of seasoning.
- I use about 4 maybe 6 pinches of seasoning.
- Simmer on very low heat for 3 minutes.
- Take crawfish out of pan and set aside leaving wine and seasoning in pan.
- In another pan saute the onions, garlic, bell peppers, scallions, green onions, and carrots in some olive oil until onions are soft.
- About 5 minutes.
- Season while simmering with a few pinches of garlic salt, garlic pepper and a few more pinches of seasoning.
- Take the ingredients from the two pans (wine and onion pans) and pour into a large pot.
- Place on a low heat adding the zucchini, squash, corn, broccoli, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, rosemary, bay leaves and heavy cream.
- If necessary add more wine or cream to cover ingredients.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low for 20 minutes.
- Stir occasionally and of course add a few more pinches of seasoning.
- While sauce is simmering add corn starch and water mixture to sauce to thicken.
- I usually mix two tbls of cornstarch with 4 oz of water in a glass, stir and slowly add to sauce avoiding clumping.
- Mix thoroughly and let heat for a few minutes before adding more until you get the consistency you want.
- One you get the consistency you want and you have heated for about 20 minutes add crawfish in and continue to stir on a low heat for 10 minutes.
- While main dish is simmering cook enough pasta for 4-6.
- Serve on a plate or in a bowl over pasta.
- Great with fresh green beans and of course garlic bread.
- Bon Appitite.
SPICY CRAWFISH ALFREDO

When tails begin to cook (4-5 min) add 2 tbl spoons butter melt then add rotel and alfredo sauce reduce heat to simmer. Place noodles in boing water. When noodles are done plate and pour sauce over noodles and serve. Grate parm cheese if desired. Mushrooms could also be added if desired I would recommend diced portobelo also salt to taste if needed.
SPICY SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
I make this spicy shrimp pasta a lot because it's a something my family never seems to get tired of. The sauce is so fast to make I can get it done while the fettuccine is cooking. In the past, I have added red peppers and spinach, but who's to say you could not add mushrooms or more or less spice. -Stephanie Beluk, Sharpsburg, Georgia

Tips:
- Use fresh crawfish: Fresh crawfish will give your Alfredo sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crawfish, you can use frozen crawfish, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the crawfish: Crawfish only take a few minutes to cook. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: There are many different brands of Alfredo sauce available. Choose one that you like the taste of and that is made with real cream and cheese.
- Add some spice: Cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder are all great ways to add some spice to your Spicy Crawfish Alfredo. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- Serve over your favorite pasta: Spicy Crawfish Alfredo is delicious served over fettuccine, linguine, or penne pasta.
