Crawfish and Garlic Chicken Etouffee

2 large onions, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup green onion
Dash white & black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 pkg fettuccine or other pasta
1 can cream of mushroom soup

1/2 tsp paprika
Cajun power garlic sauce for marinade
1 large can mushroom pieces

Roux:
1/3 cup oil & 1/2 cup flour
1/2 can beer
2 lb crawfish
