Add a bottle of Stalekracker's Rouxgaroo sauce to your saltwater purge to spice the meat from the inside out.

About 30 years ago, I cooked 4 sacks of crawfish at a family gathering. My momma offered to get the seasoning, so I told her what to get.

When I got there, she had gotten the Louisiana crab boil liquid. I put in my usual amount of liquid but had to keep adding more to get the water flavor right. After boiling the first sack, I made a trip to the nearest Walmart to get a gallon of Zatarains.

It took twice as much [maybe a little more] of the Louisiana liquid to get the same seasonings taste. The Zatarins cost a lot more, but you use a smaller amount to cook the crawfish.

Just use Cajun land and call it a day.

If you really want spice - the pepper mash leftover from processing that they sell at the Tabasco store on Avery Island will get you there. A 3lb ziploc was around $10 last time I got one.

I will try habaneros peppers; we grow some here. I didn't know they actually sell that there at the tabasco plant.

don't but some people i know add chinese red pepper or powdered tabasco peppers(much hotter than cayenne).


Chinese red pepper was the go to pepper until cayenne was so much cheaper.

I add it to the boil. Cajun land sekks large containers. Only use about a quarter cup.

I do add about 20 or so jalapeños, but that's for munching.

absolutely not. I'm waiting it out for better quality crawfish in March. I'm just trying to try out a few adjustment to crawfish boil. You know you learn a little tip here and there and incorporate into your own boil how you want to taste.
