Crawfish Carboneaux
3 cups cooked angel hair pasta
1 cup cooked crawfish tails
1/4 pound butter
1 ounce dry white wine
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp chopped parsley

In a two quart heavy bottom sauce pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add
garlic, green onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and Andouille. Saute three to five
minutes or until all vegetables are wilted. Add crawfish and cook for an
additional two minutes. Deglaze pan with white wine and lemon juice, and
continue cooking until volume of liquid is reduced to one half. Add heavy
whipping cream and, stirring constantly, reduce until cream is thick and of a
sauce like consistency, approximately five minutes. Add diced red bell pepper
and cook for one minute. Remove from heat, add parsley and season to taste using
salt and pepper. Gently fold in cooked angel hair pasta and serve. May be
chilled and served as a cold pasta salad.
