We use a blend of Zatarain's and Al Scramuzza's along with onions, lemons, garlic.

Ditch the LA liquid and try zats liquid when they soak. Let me know how it goes for you. I promise you will get many compliments.

For one sack of crawfish:
Bring clean water to a boil. Insert crawfish into clean water and bring back to a boil. Keep boiling for 30-45 minutes depending on size. Remove crawfish from water and dump into ice chest. Dump one standard sized can of Tony Chachere's (no more and no less) onto crawfish and stir to evenly coat seasoning on crawfish. Let them steam in the ice chest for a minimum of 15 minutes (don't want them to be undercooked). Enjoy!











This is what I watched my future father in law do the first time I met him. He's originally from Ohio. I haven't even let him stand close to the pot since.

But I don't know if I can trust you. And I don't want to take that chance.

I think that's the response he was looking for. I use LA Powder, Zat's Liquid, Salt and Lemons.

Fresh cracked black pepper and coarse ground sea salt.

If you need to use other flavors to mask the taste of crawfish then you are buying cheap crawfish.

The OP has it right with this stuff. It will elevate the quality of your crawfish, guys. Add some to your recipe.
