Crayfish And Tomato Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; add crawfish and boil until they turn bright red and claws are easily pulled off, 7 to 10 minutes. Peel and devein crawfish to yield about 1 pound.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil in the meantime. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8x10-inch baking dish lightly with oil.
• Whisk cream of mushroom and chicken soups together in a medium saucepan with Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Add 1 cup Cheddar cheese and continue whisking until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth and creamy.
• Mix spaghetti, tomatoes, and crawfish together in the prepared baking dish. Add the cheese sauce and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle top remaining Cheddar cheese and parsley.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown at the edges, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat the EVOO in a pot or skillet with a lid over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chiles and onions. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Season with salt and stir in the sherry. Cook until reduced by half. Add the tomatoes and oregano, cover and cook until the whole tomatoes burst, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the basil and parsley. Remove from the heat.
• For the pasta: Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta, and season with salt. Pat the seafood dry and sprinkle with salt, pepper and about 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning. Heat the EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seafood and cook until opaque and firm (or heated through for the crab or lobster). Deglaze the pan with the vermouth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
• Meanwhile, cook the linguine until al dente, then drain.
• Toss the linguine with the sauce and fold in the seafood.
• Cook's Notes: Serve the pasta with a green salad dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.
• You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator; reheat it over medium heat.

Steps:

• Marinate the catfish: In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, mustard, salt and pepper. Add the catfish strips, turning to coat each side, and place in the refrigerator to marinate as you prepare the sauce.
• Prepare the pasta sauce: In a large pot set over medium-high, heat olive oil until it shimmers. Add ground meat, onion, green pepper, seasoned salt and black pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through and the vegetables have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, stock, sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, parsley, basil and red-pepper flakes. Continue to simmer until sauce has thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
• As pasta cooks, prepare the fish for frying: As sauce cooks, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet until it reaches 365 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
• In a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, flour and seafood seasoning. Add the fish to the mixture, a few strips at a time, and tumble gently to coat evenly
• Working in batches, fry fillets until golden brown, about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally with tongs. Avoid crowding the pan, so that the fillets have room to brown properly. (Fish should be slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside.) Drain on paper towels, and hit with seafood seasoning or salt as soon as the fried strips come out of the oil.
• Toss the spaghetti into the simmered sauce. Serve the sauced pasta across plates, alongside the fried fish. Sprinkle more basil and parsley over the top.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then cook the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 5 mins until soft. Add the paprika, tomatoes and stock, then bring to the boil.
• Turn down the heat to a simmer, stir in the pasta and cook for 7 mins, stirring occasionally to stop the pasta from sticking. Stir in the seafood, cook for 3 mins more until it's all heated through and the pasta is cooked, then season to taste. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in covered pot for fettuccine.
• Crush garlic.
• Heat oil in nonstick pan large enough to hold all the sauce ingredients. Saute garlic and pepper flakes for 30 seconds over medium heat.
• Crush tomatoes between fingers, add to pot with clam juice and wine and cook over high heat until liquid has been reduced by about one-third.
• Add all the raw seafood, and cook for about 2 minutes.
• Cook the fettuccine.
• Wash, dry and mince parsley.
• Add cooked shrimp to the sauce; season with pepper, and heat through.
• Drain fettuccine, and top with sauce; sprinkle with parsley.
