*** Combine hot water, oil and salt in a large pot over high heat; cover and bring to boil. When water reaches a rolling boil, add small amounts of pasta at a time to the pot breaking up oil patches as you drop in the pasta. Return to boiling and cook uncovered about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Then immediately drain pasta into a colander. Stop the cooking by running cold water over strands. Leave in colander; set aside. Melt butter with the tasso in a (4 quart) saucepan over medium heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Scrape bottom of pan well. Add shrimp, cook 3 minutes. Using whisk, gradually beat in the cream, whisking constantly until the mixture reaches a boil, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the pasta and cook, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 tbs of the pasta seasoning and the crawfish and oysters. Cook 2 more minutes or until edges curl on oysters. Stir in green onion.
