Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds crawfish, shell-on
  • 1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 1 teaspoon oil, or as needed
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8×10-inch baking dish lightly with oil.

Step 4
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.

Step 5
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.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown at the edges, about 35 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

Use pre-cooked crawfish such as boiled frozen crawfish if possible.
