Chinese Red Pepper?

Any Asian market / grocery should have it.

Need to throw in some celery seeds as well.

Tony's once marketed it as "Twice as Hot" pepper, or something like that.

It's not nearly as easy to find as it was years ago. Chackbay still uses it in their mix, thank goodness.

There is a Spice company called A Spicy World in Kenner, that you can buy it by the pound.

I’ve heard it’s really good in the boils but I’ve never saw it in stores

Look online. eBay sells it.
Old LSU roommate used to use it when he did boils back in the early 80’s.
Those crawfish were hot. Drank lots of beer

Seperate the men from the boys.

Its alot hotter than cayenne so be careful or you will ruin your boil.

That is what I use. Great stuff. My father in law used to order it by the 5 gallon bucket.

I didn’t find it that much hotter, it had a weird after taste to it to me.

I find it’s a different type of heat. Cayenne sits on your lips with the spice where the Chinese red pepper lives in the back of your throat. I love Chinese red pepper in my boils and get it from dorignacs
