I know the basic stuff with green onions and heavy cream but anyone have other ideas? I have about 3-4 pounds worth of crawfish tails I peeled yesterday. Going to do some Mexican cornbread in the cast iron for dinner

My wife makes some stuff with cream of mushroom and the pepper jack or Mexican Velveeta. I don;t know what to call it, but it's good.

If you have any heads leftover from a boil, you can make a stock. Or you can just add a bunch of butter and it will taste fine

I've used the sauce from Paul Prudhomme's "Crawfish Enchiladas." It's pretty damn good.

I make the basic one like you said, but usually add some type of tomato product. Either sun dried tomatoes or just chopped ones. If you're doing Mexican cornbread, you could use Rotel to tie them together.

Won't be a popular opinion But it is good.

Saute green onions and minced garlic in butter. Add heavy cream and cook to it reduces in half (or until it coats the back of a spoon).

Add blackened redfish seasoning (Louisiana) to your liking. Continue to cook on low for a few more minutes.

Lastly, throw in crawfish tails. Serve sauce and crawfish over pasta and top with more green onions.

I'm pretty sure that's what he said he didn't want.

shite, I misread. Either that, or I just love heavy cream and believe almost all sauces should somehow incorporate it.

The thread title asks for crawfish cream sauces, so you got that part right. I think he wants a variation of it.

How about a lemon butter sauce (with or without cream)? I know it's good on fish, why not crawfish?

Trader Joe's has the best jarred Alfredo I've had.. Throw in a cap or two full of Zatarain's crab boil to give it some zip.

Alfredo is one of the easiest things to make. Why would you buy jarred?

Heat butter and heavy cream.
Add grated Parmesan.
Season to taste.
Done.

You could make cardinale which is a cream sauce, but different from a plain white one. Recipe should be in the recipe book. I use the one from Plantation Cookbook. I like lots of green onions in it, though. Watch the salt and pepper if your tails are well seasoned.
