shite, I honestly didn't even read this. that is...not ideal
I have no idea how you are even going to split up the seasoning. My recipe in terms of proportions is pretty much out the window.

Go with BR's Cajunland post, but I would skip the Chackbay entirely, just go with more Cajunland or straight cayenne. Chackbay adds a weird sweet flavor.

To me, the most important things are:
Rinsing them off properly first
Bringing the temperature down and getting a proper soak.
agree, but right after the most important thing.
Don't over cook them. overcooked crawfish suck.
Never heard anyone complain about undercooked crawfish.

IMO and I'm no pro like some of these guys, but there are only two things that really matter:
1.) make sure they are clean
2.) don't overcook them
The next time I have them undercooked, will be the first time. You are more than fine killing the heat as soon as they hit the boiling water. What you don't want to do is boil the water too long after they are in.
IMO, the seasoning is somewhat overated. If you have two 30qt pots, just do a variety of seasonings. Make sure one is not super spicy, and double the spice in the other or something.

You are trolling right? There is no need to do this!!

I guess with the 30qt pots, halve everything, roughly. Might be a little overseasoned on those first batches so just watch it and see how it is.
So half a jar of Zat's on the first batch, 4oz liquid seasoning, 4 garlic gloves, etc etc. Since its so small you can replace the water every time I guess, if you want to.
If you aren't replacing the water, then on the 2nd batch if the spice is fine on the first batch, maybe a quarter jar of zat's on that 2nd batch and another 4oz of liquid, etc.

Y'all don't like the way the sweet/heat/spice rounds it all out?
It's an umami flav. I'm wrecked for eating anybody else's crawfish after this season.

It's not bad, but I much more prefer the taste without it.

Swap the zat powder for cajun land, and toss in a container of celery salt and a few jalapenos and you basically have my recipe.
That is an excellent and concise process you posted.

I just dump a cup of sugar into my spice mix
Rarely go down to Morgan City, so no Chackbay seasoning for me.

It pretty much is.

Wikipedia › wiki › Umami Umami (/u'm??mi/), or savory taste, is one of the five basic tastes (together with sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness). It has been described as brothy or meaty. People taste umami through taste receptors specific to glutamate.

Good Lord you're an idiot.
Show me where you learned that umami is a combination of "sweet/heat/spice"

Umami is what MSG or Accent tastes like. Not sweet, not heat, not spice. No.
