I made Cajun Etouffee Nachos and enjoyed the flavors so much that I wanted to use them in a pasta recipe. That’s when I came up with this recipe.
There is nothing better than this classic flavor. Serve this pasta hot with crusty garlic bread and a side salad for a mouth-watering, flavor-winning meal!
New Orleans Sausage Shrimp Crawfish Pasta
As with most of my recipes, I made this into a quicker version. Seriously, I don’t have time for 1-hour dinner recipes. That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to sacrifice flavor for time. This pasta is zesty and full of rich deep flavor!
Additionally, I typically serve this over pasta. However, you can serve it over rice or quinoa.
