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!

Keep up with the cookware I use on my Amazon influencer page:

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! 😊

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.

I also cold down crawfish heads when ever we have them n freeze the juice. Then cook my pasta in it when needed. O my goodness so good.

My family begs for this recipe everytime! My husband doesn't care for pasta and hates onions and bell peppers. I follow this recipe to a T and my husband says it is the best that he EVER had! We are a Cajun ninja fan, I have almost cooked every recipe he has to offer, and my family LOVES it!

Thank you for adding the recipe. I like to see all the different ways people try to cook this dish...
You are So right about having leftovers. We get extra crawfish to "HAVE" leftovers so we can make etouffe and fettuccine the next day or so.
