Cajun Crawfish Pasta

So, I just created this masterpiece for dinner. I was going to use a recipe, but I didn't have half the stuff it called for; so I winged it and....YUMMY!!!! Even the kidlets and hubs (who doesn't like pasta) loved it, so I call it a success!

Cajun Crawfish Pasta

Approx.8 servings  

Ingredients:

• (I don't have exact measurement but I used about 6 handfuls) Rotini pasta or any kind you like
• 6 Tbsp. Butter
• 7 cloves of garlic chopped finely
• 2 Tbsp of Emeril’s Essence (I believe you can find the recipe for this online, I bought mine at Sam’s club)
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder (you can use fresh onions, I just don’t like them)
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ cup white wine
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 package of crawfish tails (you can buy them in the freezer seafood section) thawed and drained
• Parsley
• Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Boil your pasta to your preference and drain
2. Put the 6 Tbsp of butter in a pan on medium high heat, add garlic, essence, cayenne, onion powder, and salt; cook garlic until soft.
3. Add in white wine and cook until reduced to at least half. 
4. Add cream and parsley and cook again until reduced slightly. 
5. Add crawfish and cook until heated through. 
6. Toss in pasta and Parmesan. 
7. Serve. 

**Side note** After I served the kid's portions, I added about 1 Tbsp. of Cajun seasoning and 1 tsp cayenne for heat. The measly amount added in recipe doesn't give any additional heat and hubs and I like it hot.
