Tony Chachere's Shrimp and Crawfish Fettuccine Recipe

Looking for a good recipe to use with the gulf shrimp that are now back on the market? 

Try this recipe for Shrimp and Crawfish Fettuccine, originally posted on Tony Chachere's blog on Mouth Watering Monday! This version is different from the one my mom always makes. The addition of the spicy Jalapeno relish really spices things up.
