Spicy Crayfish Spaghetti

I love pre-cooked crayfish tails because they can be used for delicious and simple meals. And I love pasta dishes because they're also quick & easy to make, but are filling and can easily be made gluten-free. So I came up with this Spicy Crayfish Spaghetti dish using the ingredients I had in my kitchen. You can add other veggies to the pasta sauce if you like - bell pepper, mushrooms, green peas, broad beans &/or spinach would all work well. It takes less the 15 minutes to make this dish!
