Ingredients

16 oz fettuccine
1 lb frozen crawfish tails unthawed
1 large onion chopped
1 red bell pepper diced
6 clove garlic minced
1 Tbsp cajun seasoning
2 stick butter
6 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 c half and half
1 c sour cream
1 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
1 lb velveeta cubed
4 green onions sliced

Steps:

1. Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Add the butter to a large saucepan. Once butter is melted add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Saute about 4 minutes. Add the crawfish and Cajun seasoning. Saute another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over top the mixture and stir to incorporate the flour into the mixture.
3. Slowly add the half and half stirring constantly to combine and thicken. Add the sour cream, parmesan cheese and Velveeta. Stir and cook until the cheese is melted and the mixture is hot and bubbly. Stir in the fettuccine or place fettuccine and a plate and top with the cheese crawfish mixture.

Tips:

Use fresh crawfish. Fresh crawfish will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crawfish.
Be sure to clean the crawfish thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any mud or debris that may be present.
Cook the crawfish in a flavorful broth. This will help to infuse the crawfish with flavor.
Don't overcook the crawfish. Overcooked crawfish will be tough and rubbery.
Serve the crawfish with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for crawfish include corn on the cob, potatoes, and bread.
