Sprinkle with Cajun spices or Creole seasonings (like Tony Chachere's), stir in and saute 3 more minutes. Dump in 1 full cup frozen corn kernels. Continue with medium-high flame, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes. onions should be turning translucent. Dump in 12-oz frozen crawfish tails with fat, thawed in package. Stir and continue cooking on med-high flame until heated through and through. Add 1 can stewed tomatoes (any style or flavor). Add 1 can of water, bring to boil, stirring occasionally, and Add splash of Worcestershire and hot sauce, if desired. Add 1 cup large macaroni, return to boil, cover and reduce flame to low-low. Leave for 10 minutes, but no more than that. Lift cover, stir thoroughly.
