Awesome.....This is a recipe I took from a cookbook called Cooking New Orleans Style and tweaked it until I got it how I wanted. It was originally called Crawfish Fettuccine but I renamed it after Wayde J. a good buddy of mine! The recipe now is really quite different.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups butter
3 medium onions, chopped
4 celery ribs, diced
2 bell peppers, diced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled & deveined no tails
1 lb crawfish tail, peeled
1/2 cup dry white wine (yellowtail chardonnay)
1 pint half-and-half cream
1 lb velveeta cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (ground)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon emeril's original essence
1 lb bow tie pasta
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese
Directions:
1. In a large (7.5 quart) Dutch oven over medium heat with 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup butter make a medium brown roux. Add onions celery and bell pepper. Cook 10 minutes stirring often. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
2. Add other 2 sticks of butter, cook about 5 minutes stirring often. Add parsley , shrimp and crawfish and cook 15-20 minutes stirring frequently until shrimp and crawfish are close to done.
