Ingredients

  • ¾ (12 ounce) package egg noodles
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup minced green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's), or to taste
  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (Optional)
  • 1/3 cup sliced green onions

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, parsley, and garlic in hot butter until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning; simmer for 5 minutes more.

Step 3
Pour in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and mushrooms; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in cooked noodles and green onions until well combined. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese to serve.
