Steps

1. 1

   Warm a large pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

3. 3

   Remove the browned sausage from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   Add the shrimp to the same pan, season again with Mofo Delicious Seasoning, and cook for 3–5 minutes or until pink and opaque.

5. 5

   Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

6. 6

   Add the diced red onion, green pepper, and yellow pepper to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring often.

7. 7

   Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mix until melted.

8. 8

   Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

9. 9

   Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

10. 10

    Add 2 cups of heavy cream and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

11. 11

    Add the cooked crawfish tails to the sauce and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring gently.

12. 12

    Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

    Add the cooked linguine pasta and the reserved sausage and shrimp back into the pan. Give it a good mix to coat everything in the sauce and then it’s ready to serve.

Notes

The video transcript mentions adding 1 cup of diced tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of crushed red peppers, as well as a squeeze of lemon on the shrimp, which are not listed in the written description. You can add these for extra flavor and heat.
