6 gal. water
2 dozen lemons, cut in half
4 large onions, quartered
3/4 cup celery seed
1 cup allspice
2 1/2 lbs. salt, not iodized
1 1/2 cups cayenne pepper
3/4 cup liquid crab boil
2 cups whole bay leaves
12 bags Zatarain crab boil
40 lbs. live Louisiana crawfish
1 gal. ice water
DIRECTIONS
1.) Bring all the ingredients except the crawfish to a boil, and let them boil 5 minutes; then add crawfish. Return to a boil, boil for 5 minutes.
2.) Turn off the fire and add the gallon of ice water; this makes the crawfish sink under water. Let soak 30 minutes and then drain.

12 bags of crab boil? How big are these bags? The amount of pepper, liquid crab boil, and bagged crab boil in the recipe would have my loins on fire for a week.

The recipe also lacks detail in describing when the insert the crawfish and all of the fixins.

These ain't too spicy but add a good low tone flavor


I don't use a dozen of them, but I always add about 3 to the pot

There are a few things i have an issue with.

1. this is Louisiana Seafood's seasoning we are using , and they are still telling me to add cayenne pepper. FI you think is should be in there, but it in your seasoning i am buying. Don't admit to me that you just don't put in the necessary spices.

2. 12 bags? what size bags? Do they not know they sell larger bags for this kind go things?

If you are going to post a recipe, at least put real measurements and not "12 bags of zataran's." Zataran's comes in various sizes.

IMO your recipe requires way too much work and ingredients, but that's just me.
