Description

A recipe from my Southern family, it gives an itty-bitty kick to the normal fettuccine recipe. It can be prepared using either shrimp or crawfish, whatever you prefer. Feeding between 8-10, serve with a green salad and fresh crusty bread for a filling meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fettuccine Pasta, Cooked
  • 1-½ cup Butter Or Margarine
  • 3 whole Medium Onions, Chopped
  • 2 whole Medium Bell Peppers (red Or Green), Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Jalapeno Peppers, Sliced
  • 1 dash Salt To Taste
  • 1 dash Cayenne Pepper To Taste
  • ¼ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ bunches Fresh Parsley
  • 1 pint Half-and-half
  • 1 ounce, fluid Lemon Juice
  • 1-½ pound Velveeta Cheese, Cubed
  • 1 pound Crabmeat, Picked Though And Drained
  • 3 pounds Shrimp Or Crawfish Tails

Preparation

If not already cooked, cook pasta as per package, and drain, then set aside.

Using a 12-quart roaster or something close to it, heat stove to medium. Melt butter, then saute onions, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeno for approximately 15 minutes.

Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Add flour slowly, stirring steadily. Allow it to cook for approximately 10 more minutes.

Add fresh parsley and allow it to soften in the mixture while stirring. Add the half-and-half, lemon juice, and cheese, continuing to stir until cheese has blended well with the flour mixture. Then, add the crab meat, and stir until well combined. Stir cooked pasta gently into cheese sauce. Reduce heat and allow cheese sauce to bubble, continuing to stir so as not to let burn.

Meanwhile, parboil peeled shrimp or crawfish tails for approximately 3 minutes until cooked, then strain. Mix into the pasta mixture.

Serve in a 4-quart or larger dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, extra shrimp or crawfish tails, lemon slices and/or cheese. Serve with a great salad and fresh crusty bread!
