How To Make crabmeat and shrimp fettuccini

Step 1

Preheat Oven to 350* F Melt butter in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, green onions, celery and bell peppers and cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 2

Add enough flour to form a paste and stir mixture for 5 minutes to get the flour taste out.
Step 3

Add the parsley and shrimp and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mixture will be very thick but it's supposed to be this way.
Step 4

Slowly add the half and half, stirring to smooth out the flour mixture to a fairly thick sauce. Add Velveeta, jalapeno peppers and garlic and continue to stir until cheese is melted.
Step 5

Lower heat to medium-low. Add crabmeat, salt and cayenne and simmer, stirring often until the sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 6

Add the fettuccini and gently toss to coat pasta. Pour the mixture into a 3 quart buttered casserole and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
Step 7

Serve hot with crusty French bread. Enjoy!
