ORIGINAL CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP MONICA
Unlike Crawfish Etoufee, this rich creamy dish is so simple, with only a handful of ingredients, yet very flavorful. Some recipes get too complicated and the original Crawfish Monica recipe just didn't have all that stuff in it. Try this for yourself and see what I mean. Use ONLY Louisiana Crawfish - Not Chinese. If those aren't...

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta in salt water according to the directions on the package. Drain, then rinse under cool water to stop the cooking. Drain again, thoroughly.
- 2. Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute onions and garlic for 3 minutes.
- 3. *If using raw shrimp, add them with the onions and garlic at the beginning.
- 4. Add the crawfish and half-and-half, sauté until bubbly.
- 5. Add Creole seasoning - 1 big pinch then taste. Add more as needed but tasting before adding the next pinch until you think it's right. Add salt if needed. If you've boiled your own crawfish add the crawfish fat to the mixture as well.
- 6. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
- 7. Add the pasta to the pot and toss well. You may not need to use all of the pasta. (I double the recipe when using the whole pound of pasta.) Let it sit for about 10 minutes over very low heat, stirring often.
- 8. Serve immediately, with lots of French bread and a nice white wine. Buon Appetito!
- 9. *COOKS NOTE: Most of the time I use half Heavy Cream and half - Half and Half, or in other words 1 1/3 cups heavy cream and 2/3 cups milk. I generally buy Heavy Cream because it can be cut with milk to make Half and Half. The sauce seems to thicken better than straight Half and Half but using all Heavy Cream is too thick.
- 10. *Tip: The sauce is excellent over Redfish on da Half Shell or grilled filets - I call it Redfish Monica.
- 11. *Options: If you don't have crawfish, use bay scallops, shrimp, lump crabmeat (add last and fold in gently).

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE
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

- Crawfish Won-Tons. Whether you realize it or not, you can make wontons out of anything. Beef and chicken may be the most popular options, but you can add whatever meat or seafood you like best.
- Rich & Creamy Crawfish Bisque. Crawfish bisque is just as thick, creamy, and flavorful as lobster bisque, but there’s a light sweetness in this one that its more well-known lobster cousin doesn’t have.
- Crawfish Fettuccine. When you hear “fettuccine,” you probably think of Italian food, but this cheesy, spicy pasta dish is 100% Cajun. If you’re not someone who likes a lot of heat in your food, this one isn’t for you.
- New Orleans Crawfish Bread. Crawfish bread makes a fantastic appetizer for any event, and it’s so easy to make. It requires only 10 minutes of preparation and another 30 to cook.
- Crawfish Fried Rice. This 20-minute side dish takes the traditional recipe for fried rice and adds crawfish tails. Thanks to the Sriracha and soy sauce, it retains its distinctly Asian flavor.
