CREAMY CRAWFISH PASTA

Creamy Crawfish Pasta image

A friend from college gave me this recipe. It's perfect for me because, living in Louisiana, we always have a pound or so of crawfish left over after a crawfish boil. However, any seafood could be substituted for the crawfish if they are hard to find in your area.
