CRAWFISH MONICA



Crawfish Monica image

Succulent crawfish tails cooked in spices and a rich cream sauce then tossed with pasta. Crawfish Monica has become the most popular dish at the New Orleans Jazz Festival after being introduced in the early 1980s-a New Orleans classic in a short period of time.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound rotini pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons Butter
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning (plus some for the crawfish)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
1/2 cup Dry White Wine
2 cups Heavy Cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 pounds Louisiana crawfish tails
1 bunch green onions (chopped)
1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated and divided)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta to al denté according to the package direction.
  • Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. When the pasta is al dente, drain but don't rinse. Return the pasta to the pot, cover and set aside.
  • Place the crawfish tails in a bowl and sprinkle with Creole seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat until frothy.
  • Add the yellow onions and saute until soft, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and continue to saute until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the creole seasoning and cayenne (if using) and stir well. Saute another two or three minutes.
  • Add the wine, bring to a heavy simmer and allow the wine to evaporate almost completely.
  • Add the cream and lemon juice, stirring and shaking the pan until well blended.
  • Simmer on low for a couple of minutes until it begins to slightly thicken.
  • Add the crawfish tails a few at a time and stir well to blend completely.
  • Allow the crawfish tails to only warm through (about 3 minutes), then add the green onions and parsley.
  • Mix well and simmer about two minutes.
  • Add the reserved pasta water and a drizzle of olive oil to the cooked pasta and stir thoroughly.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce a little at a time. Stir completely to combine the pasta, sauce and crawfish tails before adding more pasta. See Recipe Notes about how much pasta to add.
  • When the pasta has been thoroughly combined, stir in about 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Reserve the remaining parmesan cheese to add at the table.
  • Remove from the heat. When serving, sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top.

ORIGINAL CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP MONICA



Original Crawfish or Shrimp Monica image

Unlike Crawfish Etoufee, this rich creamy dish is so simple, with only a handful of ingredients, yet very flavorful. Some recipes get too complicated and the original Crawfish Monica recipe just didn't have all that stuff in it. Try this for yourself and see what I mean. Use ONLY Louisiana Crawfish - Not Chinese. If those aren't...

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Seafood

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb pasta (fettuccine, linguine, rotini, penne, or bowties
1 lb crawfish tails and fat (louisiana - don't use chinese)
1 stick butter (don't use margarine)
1 pt half and half*
1 large bunch green onions and tops, sliced
1-2 Tbsp garlic, minced
creole seasoning and salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta in salt water according to the directions on the package. Drain, then rinse under cool water to stop the cooking. Drain again, thoroughly.
  • 2. Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute onions and garlic for 3 minutes.
  • 3. *If using raw shrimp, add them with the onions and garlic at the beginning.
  • 4. Add the crawfish and half-and-half, sauté until bubbly.
  • 5. Add Creole seasoning - 1 big pinch then taste. Add more as needed but tasting before adding the next pinch until you think it's right. Add salt if needed. If you've boiled your own crawfish add the crawfish fat to the mixture as well.
  • 6. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
  • 7. Add the pasta to the pot and toss well. You may not need to use all of the pasta. (I double the recipe when using the whole pound of pasta.) Let it sit for about 10 minutes over very low heat, stirring often.
  • 8. Serve immediately, with lots of French bread and a nice white wine. Buon Appetito!
  • 9. *COOKS NOTE: Most of the time I use half Heavy Cream and half - Half and Half, or in other words 1 1/3 cups heavy cream and 2/3 cups milk. I generally buy Heavy Cream because it can be cut with milk to make Half and Half. The sauce seems to thicken better than straight Half and Half but using all Heavy Cream is too thick.
  • 10. *Tip: The sauce is excellent over Redfish on da Half Shell or grilled filets - I call it Redfish Monica.
  • 11. *Options: If you don't have crawfish, use bay scallops, shrimp, lump crabmeat (add last and fold in gently).
