Spicy Crayfish Spaghetti

I love crayfish tails and can’t help buying them without thinking what i’m going to use them for and last night I found a packet in the fridge along wtih some veg and cream that needed using up, that resulted in this recipe being formed,  it’s pretty delicious and if you replace the cream with some low fat cream or fat free yoghurt.
