Crawfish Fettuccine image

I have lived in this close-knit community all my life and enjoy cooking Cajun dishes, especially those with seafood. Along with a green salad and garlic bread, this dish is great for family gatherings. The recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger group, and if you'd like it less spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping it. -Carolyn Lejeune, Welsh, Louisiana
