Just got a new pot and burner, so I'm looking to host a crawfish boil for the folks and siblings in the coming weeks. What is everyones go to recipe/technique for a home boil. Haven't had access to live crawfish for a few years now so I'm definitely rusty.

When it comes to crawfish and jambalaya, everybody has the best recipe that has never received any complaints.

Sucks when you have to cater an event with said dishes. Your bullshite needs to be on point, as everyone will come up and tell you what you're doing wrong and what they do.


Oh, and Gaston's sounds terrible. Don't do that

I believe this event actually signals the start of the official crawfish season.

As far as purging goes, it's BS. I wash, pick deads, what grass I see, but most importantly BAIT. Boil BAIT, and it'll taste like shite.

1/4 jar zatarins powder n liquid.
1 box (wtf is a keg of salt?)
Onions potatoes lemons (8) garlic in.

Wait 13 min

Drop corn, sausage, and anything except cauliflower.

Wait 4 min

Drop cauliflower.

Wait 3 min

Pull everything

Drop rest of powder, liquid and box of salt

Once rolling again drop crawfish

Once rolling wait 6 mins

Pour box of salt around outside of basket to break boil.

Shut off valve at first sign of reboil

Drop potatoes n bag of ice.

Soak till you like em n pull



I have no idea what most of this even means.
