Your #1 tip to improve crawfish boil

No seasoning in the water, just on the outside and let em sit in an ice chest for an hour or more.

You get good flavor in the tails that way?

Your #1 tip to improve crawfish boil

---

I don't know about any particular one thing to do but

- Season the damn water prior to boiling
- shut off the boil once the crawfish start floating
- soak for 20-30 minutes
- add your corn after you shut off the boil
- add your salt after you shut off the heat

and most importantly

- Let someone else do it!

Sweet potato>red potato

A little more prep is required though

i always use the ice method but this is my second full season and I want to cut this method out.

I usually let them boil for 2-3 minutes. Cut it and dump a bag or 3\4th of a bag in it.

If i cut it after 2 or 3 minutes, and put frozen corn in there, will they peel just as good?

oh and making crawfish shooters is also something you can do

Soak until they sink.

Test often.

Entire jar of jalapeños. Not the gallon jar, but about a 12oz or so.

I rarely let it boil for longer than a minute. If I do it's cause I am drunk and stopped paying attention.

I dump the corn in and stir the pot to release some of the heat.
