Crawfish Fettuccine by The Cajun Ninja

This one is a take on the popular Shrimp Fettuccine video I uploaded. Many wanted to see it with crawfish, so here it is. Enjoy!

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE 2 lbs of Crawfish 1 Cap of Liquid Seafood Boil (^^If leftover from a boil, do not use) 1 Teaspoon Garlic Salt 1 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning 1 Onion 2 Sticks of Celery 1 Bell Pepper 2 Sticks of Salted Butter 2 Teaspoon Minced Garlic 1 Can Mild Rotel 1 Can 10.5 oz Cream of chicken 1 Can 14.5 oz Chicken broth 1 Pint of Half & Half 1 (16oz) Block Jalapeño Velveeta 2 Aluminum Pans or One 9x13 dish 2 (16oz) Packs of Fettuccini Noodles Heat up a large pot on a low heat. At this time, begin boiling water for pasta. Season the 2 lbs of Crawfish with liquid seafood boil, garlic salt, Cajun Seasoning, and move to your fridge. *(If using boiled crawfish, then disregard. You may however still need to season the sauce.)* Chop the Onion, Celery, and Bell Pepper. Melt 2 sticks of salted butter in a large pot. As the butter has melts, raise your heat to a medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. After the vegetables have cooked for about 10 minutes, add the minced garlic. After another 15 minutes, add the Rotel. Let cook for another 5 minutes. Next add the Cream of Chicken, Chicken Broth, and Half & Half. Cut the block of Velveeta into cubes, then add to the pot stirring often. By now your water should be boiling. If so, add a dash of salt and then the fettuccine. Boil for about a minute less than the package directions, then drain into a plastic strainer. (At this time, preheat the oven to 350°) When all the cheese has melted, add the crawfish to the sauce and stir the dish well. At this point turn the heat to low. Next gently blend the fettuccine noodles into the sauce. Don’t worry if the noodles are stuck together. They will gradually come undone as the sauce blends in. Once the fettuccine has mixed in with the sauce, turn the heat off and split the contents of the pot into the two pans. (Unless you have a deep 10x13 baking pan) Cover each pan with foil, and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Gently remove the foil, set aside, let cool for 5 minutes and then serve. Cook sum garlic bread! 😊

[@eddier9921]

I’m wondering your take on something. If I do a crawfish boil, could I substitute the chicken broth for some left over crawfish juice from the pot??

[@mariecooper8810]

@ The Cajun Ninja. I live in SETX, I can be in LA within 30-40 minutes. I can not locate Jalapeno Velveeta like anywhere. I've searched as far as Houston and as far East as Lake Charles. I'm beginning to believe that this Jalapeno Velveeta is a myth LOL! Do you think the Queso Blend version with a can or 2 of green chilies be about the same or in the ballpark?

[@mariecooper8810]

The Velveeta with Jalapeno is impossible to find in Southeast Texas (Beaumont area) BUT Kroger sells a Queso with Jalapeno that's always in stock. It's a great substitute if you can't find the Velveeta with Jalapeno's. The end result is the same. Thank you Cajun Ninja for sharing your delicious recipes.

[@travisthomas1136]

My boyyyyy #CajunDrake 🧔🏻✊🏽🔥🌶🌶

[@kyzercube]

Any and all pasta water has to be seasoned to the saline equivalent of sea water. Pasta is like potatoes, they are very resistant to absorbing salt so you have to be sure that the salt content of the water it's being boiled in is that equal to sea water. Or else you'll be enjoying all of that wonderful sauce and crawfish while biting into a bland ganki noodle 😆

[@IslenoGutierrez]

This looks great! This food dish is considered “creole Italian” and is part of Louisiana creole cuisine just like cajun is. Creole Italian dishes are the mixing of southern Louisiana food influences from southern Louisiana’s local population and Italian food influences brought by Italian immigrants to southern Louisiana. This dish is also called crawfish Monica, especially if rotini pasta is used instead of fettuccine. Other creole Italian dishes in southern Louisiana are such as muffulettas, bbq shrimp, baked macaroni, stuffed artichokes, pastalaya (pasta version of jambalaya) and Italian style food dishes infused with southern Louisiana items like roux, trinity, andouille/smoked sausage etc. You can also find books written about creole Italian influence in southern Louisiana’s traditional local cuisine which is called Louisiana creole cuisine.

[@tlandry9689]

Actually, this is not also called Crawfish Monica. Crawfish Monica is a crawfish cream sauce. It doesn’t have cheese in it. You can top it with a little shredded Parmesan but it’s not a cheese sauce like this is. And remember that just because a dish is made with pasta doesn’t make it Italian.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

@@tlandry9689 But it still is. Crawfish Monica is made in the same style, it’s just he used a different cheese. So it’s crawfish Monica with a different cheese. You can also call it crawfish pasta or crawfish fettuccine (if fettuccine is used) even. As for Louisiana dishes with pasta in them, the likelyhood is higher that Louisianians with Italian ancestry were involved in their creation or influenced it. Anyway, it’s a creole Louisiana dish and it’s delicious.

[@tlandry9689]

@@IslenoGutierrez - no Tito. Crawfish Monica isn’t a cheese sauce based dish. It is a cream sauce. Please look it up before you try to pretend to be an authority. I know that is what you tend to do but you are dead wrong in this case.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

@@tlandry9689 If there was an authority on south Louisiana food here in the KZbin comments, I’m one of the best candidates for such. My knowledge of south Louisiana food and its history is expansive. So with that said, let me say this…there are more Crawfish Monica recipes in Louisiana with Parmesan cheese in them than you and I have fingers and toes. Parmesan cheese is absolutely an acceptable ingredient for Crawfish Monica in Louisiana. There are of course versions of it without cheese, but there are many versions of it with cheese. Plenty enough in number to back a comment I made that you replied to. In fact, I’ll post some ingredient lists for various Crawfish Monica recipes, most of which are from Louisianians: New Orleans Crawfish Monica Chef: Jim LeSaicherre Ingredients 1 pound Rotini Pasta 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup chopped yellow onions 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons Essence of Emeril 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 cup dry white wine 2 cups heavy cream 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 pound crawfish tails 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves 1 cup grated Parmesan Ampissue website --------------- INGREDIENTS 1 lb crawfish tail 1⁄2 cup butter 1 pint half-and-half cream 1 bunch green onion, sliced thin 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon tony chachere's original creole seasoning 1 lb cooked rotini or 1 lb pasta shells 1⁄2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese Food . com website ------------- 1 pint half-and-half 1 cup whipping cream 6 green onions, chopped 1 stick butter 1 pound crawfish tails with fat Salt and pepper to taste Optional seasonings: thyme, two fresh garlic cloves, cayenne or Tony Chachere's 1 pound cooked rotini or fettuccine 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Nola . com --------------- 1 pound Rotini pasta 2 tablespoons Olive Oil 6 tablespoons Butter 1 cup chopped Yellow Onions 2 tablespoons minced Garlic 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning Blend 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne 1/4 cup dry White Wine 2 cups Heavy Cream 1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice 1 pound Crawfish Tails 1/2 cup chopped Green Onions 1/2 cup chopped fresh Parsley 1 cup grated Parmesan Creole Cajun Chef . com ---------------- 1lb Crawfish Tails 1lb Rotini Pasta 6 Tablespoons Butter, unsalted 3 Large Shallots, chopped 6 Garlic Cloves, minced 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper ¼ Cup Dry White Wine 2 Cups Heavy Cream 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice 4 Green Onions, chopped ¼ Cup Parsley, chopped 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated The Caigle Diaries . com ----------------- Ingredients 1 pound fresh fettuccine 3 tbsp butter Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup minced onion Creole/Cajun Seasoning to taste 1 cup peeled, seeded plum tomatoes 1 pound crawfish tails 1 tbsp chopped garlic 2 cups heavy cream 2 ounces grated Parmigianino Reggiano cheese 1/4 cup chopped green onions Real Cajun Recipes . com ---------------- ▢ 1 pound rotini pasta ▢ 6 tablespoons butter ▢ 1 cup yellow onion diced ▢ 2 tablespoons garlic minced ▢ 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning ▢ ½ teaspoon kosher salt ▢ ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ▢ ¼ teaspoon dry white wine ▢ 2 cups heavy cream ▢ 1 tablespoon lemon juice ▢ 1 pound crawfish tails ▢ ½ cup green onions chopped ▢ ½ cup fresh parsley leaves chopped ▢ ½ cup grated parmesan for cooking ▢ ½ cup grated parmesan for serving Southern - Bytes . com ----------------- 16 ounces rotini pasta (can also use fettuccine, linguine, penne) *see notes below 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1 stick of butter 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon creole seasoning 1 1/3 cup heavy cream 2/3 cup of milk *see notes about cream sauce 1 pound Louisiana crawfish tails (with fat) 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated and divided Aimee Broussard . com --------------- 1 pound linguine or fettucine (I’ve even used spirals) 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 stick of butter (we prefer Kerrygold) 2 Sweet yellow onions, chopped 5 or 6 cloves of garlic, crushed 2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning (Konriko, Tony Chachere’s, Slap Ya Mama) 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 cup dry white wine 2 cups heavy cream 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 pound crawfish tails 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves 1 cup grated Parmesan Catholic Foodie . com

[@tlandry9689]

@@IslenoGutierrez - Oh Tito. You pop up on so many comments sections that I can tell that you are a legend in your own mind. The recipe of the original chef is a cream sauce and not a cheese sauce. Notice in all of these recipes add shredded cheese as the very last step and notice that it is a very small amount of cheese meaning it is a garnish and not a base cheese sauce. Before you can be a self proclaimed leading expert on KZbin, one must first have an understanding of the basics of the skills of a saucier😂😂😂😂
