Ingredients

¾ (12 ounce) package egg noodles
½ cup butter
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup minced green bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) package cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's), or to taste
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup sliced fresh mushrooms (Optional)
⅓ cup sliced green onions

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, parsley, and garlic in hot butter until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning; simmer for 5 minutes more.
Pour in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and mushrooms; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in cooked noodles and green onions until well combined. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese to serve.
