This recipe for craw fish also calls for you to:

Rough chop the shrimp and add to the mixture. Stir to mix in and cook at a low simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes or until shrimp turns pink.

Meanwhile, prepare the pasta in well salted water to al dente according to package directions. Drain and return to the pasta pot. Spoon some of the sauce over the prepared pasta and stir to blend in. Place a serving of pasta on each plate and top with some additional sauce.

Cook's Notes: May substitute a pound of crawfish tails. I used Mexican style Velveeta. Is this one of the most amazing recipes for craw fish or what.
