Boiled Lobster in Crawfish boil

Yea…idk if you’re supposed to crack the shell or something, but they don’t cook like crawfish that’s for sure. We had to season and sauté them in butter after because they were bland and way undercooked. It was our first and only try, but we did a get a bunch and give it a go. Hope yours turn out better.

I've had them. I didn't care for the crawfish boil flavor on the lobster. It sort of ruined it for me. I enjoy the flavor of the lobster meat with a bit of butter and lemon. That being said, I do enjoy lobster dishes like Newburg from time to time.

I feel like youd have to boil them more like crabs instead of crawfish. Boil for 10 minutes and soak for 20 or so.

boiled lobster is not what you want. Grilled with butter or any other recipe

Yeah, I;ve decided to Grill them.

At some point, I don’t want everything flavored like crawfish.

I've always boiled them in salt water. Crawfish pot full of water, and one tub of Morton's salt will do it. 1lb chicks are ready in about 8 minutes. No soaking needed. You know they are done right when the antennas pull right off with no resistance.

You could soak those things for a week and they'd never absorb the flavor

Cook separately w old bay. Dip in butter. Delicious

Steaming w aromatics is the fool proof way.
