I tried this recipe awhile back, and it's pretty awesome. I'll definitely be cooking it again.

Looks amazing and easy! I have 2 gallon bags of crawfish tails leftover from a boil a few months ago. I was planning on making a fettuccine with them, but I may try this instead

Not my favorite dish of yours. I'd have thrown some cream in there to thicken it up

I made this dish today. it's really tasty. now i just need to figure out how extend the measurements to make 3-4 gallons.

where does the heat in this dish come from? is it mostly from the rotel? while i'm ok with the heat a lot of people i feed probably won't be. Any suggestions for dialing back the heat?

Even mild rotel can put off some heat. Some andouille sausage has spice and, if you used "Cajun seasoning", it normally has cayenne.

actually i didn't add any seasoning. used the regular rotel and the andouille just said "smoked" i avoided the hot version.

The regular rotel will definitely add heat. That's your source, then.

I didn't take pics of each step but, here's what my finished product looked like. I ended up adding a little water and simmering it for an additional 15-20 min.

I made this again this past weekend. Made a few minor changes.

Added a little flour towards the end of the veggie stage and cooked a few minutes longer.

Replaced one of the cans of Rotel with a can or chicken broth.

Came out very good. Less spicy than my first attempt but still plenty spicy enough for most people I'll be serving it to.

Makes note to self: it tends to be a good idea to avoid threads like these when you're trying to diet.

So where does the "spicy" come in? Didnt see any added peppers or cayenne.

You dont have to avoid food like this when youre on a diet man. Just consume in moderation.

If I was good at moderation, I wouldn't have to diet.

ETA: To the OP, that does look crazy good, I must say.

i'm assuming it comes from the rotel. The first time i tried it, i used 2 cans and it was really spicy. this time i replaced 1 can of rotel with chicken broth and it was still spicy.
