I’ve used my swamp bucket to boil shrimp dozens of times. Love it.
Tonight I picked up 7 pounds of live crawfish from Crawfish on the Geaux on Perkins. I used a good bit of liquid crawfish boil. They came out great, and peeled perfectly. But they tasted hardly seasoned at all. Was using liquid boil the wrong choice? What have you used that seasons well in a Swamp Bucket, and how much of it?

If you didn't add salt, that's my answer.

don't go together in my mind. You didn't use any powder? Just liquid? That's gonna be some dangerous shits tomorrow morning.

Meaning they peeled easily, and almost all claw meat came out of the claws.

If that’s all you used, then that’s probably the issue. The liquid boil is good for adding some heat, but it doesn’t give you the flavors like a powder.

And as someone else said, probably not enough salt. Liquid boil has very little salt to no salt at all depending on the brand.
