FOOD

I like food. A lot. I like to cook it, eat it, talk about it, read about it, think about it. These recipes correspond with my Twitter account.

Crawfish Monica

Ingredients
  • One pound crawfish (pre-cooked tail meat)
  • One bunch green onions, chopped
  • Four cloves garlic, minced
  • One pint half and half
  • One stick butter
  • Cajun seasoning
  • One pound rotini pasta
Steps
  • In a large pot, boil pasta for 8 - 9 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
  • In a separate large saucepan, melt the stick of butter.
  • Saute the onions and garlic in the melted butter for approximately 2 - 3 minutes or until softened and aromatic.
  • Add crawfish tails to pan and cook an additional 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Add half and half to pan. Stir in a few large pinches of Cajun seasoning. Taste, and add more if desired. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add drained rotini to sauce, simmer an additional 10 minutes.
Notes: If your sauce seems a little thick, add 1/4 cup milk at a time to achieve desired consistency. I also like to add a little parmesan cheese right at the end. I know it's not traditional, but I think it's super yum. I got this recipe from a friend over at Jambase. Thanks, "Foghorn."
