Ingredients
-
1 tbsp Tony’s Original Seasoning
-
1 lb crawfish tails
-
1 lb pasta of choice (rotini is what’s traditionally used, but use whatever you like)
-
Reserved pasta water
-
6 tbsp butter
-
1-2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 bunch green onions, whites removed and diced
-
1 shallot, minced
-
8 cloves garlic, minced, to taste
-
¼ tsp cayenne, to taste
-
½ cup dry white wine (like a sauvignon blanc)
-
2 cups heavy cream (use half & half if you’re not using the wine)
-
1-2 tbsp lemon juice, to taste
-
¼ cup – ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, to taste
-
1 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- Clear
Directions
- Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat your butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add in your onions and shallots, saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add your Tony’s and cayenne, saute for an additional 2 minutes. Add in your garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with your wine and simmer for about 4-5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
- Reduce heat to medium/low. Add in your heavy cream and lemon juice. Stir and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Add in your crawfish tails and cook for a few minutes, or until warmed through.
- Add in your cooked pasta, followed by a few tbsp of your reserved pasta water. Mix until everything is combined and the sauce sticks to the pasta. You might need to add a touch more pasta water and/or butter until you reach your desired silkiness. Sprinkle in your fresh parsley.
- Turn heat to low and add in your parmesan cheese. Stir until melted.
- Top with extra parmesan and enjoy!
