No way would I ever use leftover boil water as a stock for making risotto. It would be exceedingly salty and unpleasant
Maybe it's just corn, red potatoes, and crab boil? Or hell it could just be adding crab boil.

The best one I've ever had was one that Stella! served a few years ago (no idea if they still do). But I don't think it's worth the trouble to specifically have dinner there just for that.
Strangely enough, The Flaming Torch has a very good one with rabbit.

I'd probably make a stock out of crawfish shells, boil the fixings separately in a light boil mix, then make the risotto with the stock and add the cooked fixins at the end. Agree it would have to be pretty lightly seasoned otherwise it would be a waste. I've made what I guess you could call "shrimp risotto" like this, that's where my thought process came from. As I'm sure you know, the mild/sweet shrimp flavor goes in easy with risotto and lets both elements shine if done correctly.
