METHOD:
Cook the Canadian bacon, remove bacon and cook the mushrooms, chives, garlic
and tomato in grease.
Sauté for 4-6 minutes. Add crawfish tails, yellow bell pepper, basil and return the
Canadian bacon.

Keep cooking on medium heat until liquids are reduced
to half the original amount.

it is a sauce. Now
remove the saucepan from the heat.

Pour onto Angel Hair Pasta and add Cajun and Creole seasoning to taste. Garnish with three fresh slices of lime and three
fresh slices of lemon for a decorative touch. And finish off the wine with supper!
