  • Today, I will show you a very easy and simple recipe for Crawfish Monica. This creamy spicy pasta dish, traditionally served at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, is named after Chef Pierre Hilzim's wife Monica. Chef Hilzim created Monica Crawfish in 1981. It has been a Jazz Fest staple since 1982. My homemade version is perfect for beginner cooks looking for a flavorful weeknight meal. Packed with juicy crawfish tails and a rich, decadent sauce, this Crawfish Monica will become a family favorite! You can substitute the crawfish with shrimp to make an amazing creamy pasta dinner.
    INGREDIENTS
    12 oz Rotini Pasta
    12 oz cooked peeled crawfish tails
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1 Tbsp unsalted butter
    3 scallions
    3 cloves of garlic
    1 1/2 tsp Creole seasoning
    1/2 tsp lemon pepper
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1/4 tsp cayenne (to taste)
    1 3/4 cup heavy cream
    1 Tbsp Loisiana hot sauce
    garnish with fresh scallion green tops
    garnish with fresh parsley
    The best creamy pasta inspired by Jazzfest New Orleans

    This looks like something I’d love. Anytime I’ve eaten crawfish boil the seasoning has always been super salty, but this hopefully does not have the level of salt in the cooked crawfish. Pasta and cream….heaven!

    Oh, I miss crawfish! I moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia, years ago from Louisiana. I miss crawfish boils!

      I grew up in Texas having crawfish boils often. I moved to West Virginia and lived there for 20 years, when I moved back to Texas a few years ago the first thing we did was a huge crawfish boil! I sure missed those!

    YUM!
    I have shrimp and coconut cream... I'm thinking I could use as a variation. Hey, I'm always up for an adventure! Using what I have somehow always works out!

      ​@@tammyjo6056 the recipe is what matters. The quality of ingredients is a preference. Not everyone has access to fresh crawfish.

    Hi A.!!! I would eat this dish. I dont like them Rotini noodles. I never saw craw-fish meat like that.I will have to look around. Looks super yummy to me...Nice Video!!!...🦋

      I dont like rotini either, or fusilli. People say it's all the same, only the shape is different. I beg to differ. I too would try this recipe

    I DO like this recipe. It's so hard to find crawfish in the Pacific Northwest. But your recipe makes me want to try harder to find some. 😄 Thanks for sharing! Yummy.

    •  5 месяцев назад +2

      You definitely can sub the crawfush with shrimp. I know it's not the same, but the cream sauce is really good. 😊

    Does crawfish tails have a fishy taste?

      Same seasoning but fry in bacon grease and fishy taste is gone

      I've only had fresh crawdads and they taste like lobster.

    • @summerf3022
      @summerf3022 5 месяцев назад

      IMO, no, especially not if they’re fresh - if you don’t get good ones they can have a *slight* fishy taste but it’s very mild. They’re chewy and delicious!

    • @JackADoodleThePoodle
      @JackADoodleThePoodle 5 месяцев назад

      Not fishy exactly. But you definitely know they are from the sea.

    Any other recipes with crawfish tails?

    •  5 месяцев назад +2

      I use this same cream sauce recipe, but start with a roux, add cheese, and bake on French bread. It's a toasty baked crawfish bread. 😊
