This was great!! I didn't have the exact seasonings listed so I added my own for taste and it turned out Great. I left everything else the same just added more heavy pint since sauce thickens. I will use this recipe again.
Read MoreThis recipe was quite good but the cheese sauce overwhelms the crawfish. After tasting , I added some imitation crabmeat, 1/2 cup or so. The crab brought out a more pronounced flavor.

Oh Ya-Ya yeah! , this is one good dish. My only changes are to use another pasta- bowties, cavatelle- even linguine (the noodles don't have enough bite for me). A comfort food from LA, and very welcome here by me! Rich, yes- but don't skimp trying to make it less, especially on the cheese- but you can use half and half if that salves your conscience a bit. And you can use the lighter butter there also, the I Can't believe its not butter sticks give pretty decent results. Try this one out, you will like the mac and cheese creaminess and the veg and the crawfish. And do add the mushrooms, it's worth it- make sure you use fresh. To tighten up the dish a bit, I put it in the broiler with a dusting of bread crumbs on top, and that really sets it off! Thanks for posting this good recipe, Janessa. Love the mudbugs!
This was wonderful! I did halve the butter (and supplemented a little olive oil instead) and used fat free half & half. Topped with some panko--it was so delicious. I've been looking for something new to make with crawfish tails, and this one is going into the rotation for sure. Thanks!
Easy to make and quick. I followed recipe exactly as written, but found it to be too salty, wish I had added the Tony's gradually (not sure what I was thinking), we like spicey so that wasn't a problem, just to salty. Worth trying the recipe, just pay attention to the salty factor.

Too SALTY! DO NOT use 2 tbl sp of Tony Chachere's...maybe one! It wouldve been very good w/o all the salt! I used a lb of shrimp instead of crawfish and followed the recipe exactly with everything else!
This was super tasty! Used shrimp instead of Crawfish b/c that's what I had on hand. I reduced the spice to about 2 tsp instead of 2 T and just sprinkled to taste from there. First time I made with Tony's creole (very good) and the next time, by accident, made with Slap Ya Mama spice - even the little ones asked for seconds. Second time round, too, cooked the shrimp in butter separately since not all were shrimp lovers, sprinkled some Slap Ya Mama spice on the shrimp too. Big hit! Thanks for the recipe!
It was ok by itself, but I set it over the top , with help from the Holy Spirit, add some Velveeta, rotel tomatoes (original) ,and some evaporated milk , I also did half crawfish and half shrimp ... Incredible , gotta share it , can't keep it in Hallelujah!!!!
This recipe is amazing! I would rate it 10 stars if I could! Very rich flavor w just the right kick! Thank you for sharing! Will make again and again!
Doubled onions, added minced pickled jalapeno, doubled fresh ground black pepper, substituted provolone for the cheddar, simmered heavy cream to thicken, added a little Worcestershire and fresh crab claw meat just before serving and finely diced green onion leaves. Seasoned Cajun seafood lovers asked for my recipe. Served over garlic buttered fettuccine with lightly garliced french bread with a good white wine and Heineken beer for those that preferred. Raves from everyone. A gourmet meal.
Love it , it save the day at my house didn't take long to cook at all.Thank u guys.
This has become a family favorite! The only change I make, beside the crawfish I add some shrimp. Other than that made as written. YUMMY!!!
Super delicious! I used Fettuccine instead and added shrimp and chicken! Super delicious!!
i made this tonight.... it was soo good... i used half and half instead of heavy cream
I doubled the recipe, used tri-colored peppers, subbed evaporated milk for the heavy cream (just because that's what I had on hand), added a can of drained mild Rotel, and cut the Tony's in half. It was a little thinner than it should've been. Next time I'd like to try it with the heavy cream. I also used bow tie pasta. This is a comfort food dish & good filling food for my teen boys. Easy to make.
I wish i would have read the review before I followed the recipe. Like others have stated the salt content in the recipe is a bit overwhelming and the amount that's in the recipe makes the dish to salt with the cheese being adding in as well because of it have salt in it as well. So i would season to taste instead of using the measurements of Tony Seasoning. Other wise awesome dish.. Gilbert~
Husband loved it, will definitely make again. Followed instructions exactly, except I used Zatarrain’s Cajun seasoning rather than TC-was a tad saltier than I would have preferred but was a major hit! The sauce seems to thicken after removing from heat and after mixing with pasta so I would recommend allowing to sit a few minutes and stir well
This recipe is fantastic!! Oh my goodness
I am thankful to the person who shared this recipe, this recipe will give Tawamba pasta a run for its money. And it is serve at a certain restaurant. But it is so tasteful and so creamy and delicious. I followed everything to the “t” and I shared it with our family, neighbors and some of my church family members.
Something this good must be shared 😁😁
I use a lot more spices and cheese, but it came out very good.
Every time I make this people come to keep wanting more and more lol! I love it
I made this for my wife for Mother's Day and only used 2 tbsp of tony chacheres and it was awesome
Easy to make and delicious.
I don't add the Noodles I leave them on the side. My kid loves it.
Delicious! I made a few changes based on reviews and what I had on hand... I used a trinity mix (onion, celery, bell pepper), sautéed that along with the parsley and garlic in a little olive oil instead of butter, used half and half with a couple tablespoons of corn starch to thicken. I used Emeril's Bayou Blast for the Cajun seasoning, I added a teaspoon at a time until perfect for me. Served over rice instead of pasta. Loved it!!
