This recipe is a family favorite and sure to be yours soon too! You can always sub white onion for the green onions and you could even do shrimp or chicken if you can't find or don't like crawfish!
Ingredients:
1 lb of rotini pasta cooked to package or personal selected tenderness
1/2 C (1 stick) of butter
3 T flour
4 green onions, chopped
6 cloves of garlic minced or mashed
2 C of 1/2 and 1/2
Cajun Seasoning (Tony's is my go to)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 lb of cooked crawfish tails (I get them at Kroger or Walmart and always try to get ones that come from Louisiana!)
Melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir constantly till you have a golden brown and flavorful roux. Add garlic and sautee for 2 min or until you can smell the aroma. Add green onions and sautee for 2-3 minutes. Slowly stir in 1/2 and 1/2, till combined. Add in cajun seasonings and salt and pepper to taste. Keep stiring till sauce is has thickened up a little. Add entire contents of crawfish package (once the crawfish defrost there is a little juice in the bag and this adds a LOT of flavor to the sauce!) Stir occastionally till sauce is thick and creamy!
Serve over cooked pasta with a side of hot french bread :)
