Creamy Crawfish Fettuccine will be spicy and cheesy with a lot of crawfish tails. It’s most likely my favorite solution to eat crawfish.
You’ll require a pound of iced crawfish tail meats for this formula. It could be difficult to find in some places, but a number of specialty food markets carry it.
No crawfish? You can easily replace shrimp with this recipe.
Velveeta cheese can make this Crawfish Fettuccine very creamy and cheesy. I understand some individuals balk at making use of Velveeta, but it surely works with this recipe.
Sour lotion and half-and-half include a lot more richness. This can be a really indulgent pasta meal. The type you make limited to special events. Like Mardi Gras. Twice the formula and create a huge batch for any Mardi Gras celebration.
