How to not overcook crawfish

If boiling a sack of crawfish, how long do you cook the crawfish after the seasoned water comes to a boil, how long to soak?

First sign of small bubbles.

Your water doesn’t have to come back to a full rolling boil. I wait for little bubbles and a little foam on the top then I cut the fire and soak for 25-30 minutes.

Depends on the size. Early in season when they’re small right before they hit rolling boil. Midsize around rolling boil. Late in year dark hard ones 5 min rolling

I just wait for steam to come out the lid, then drop ice on them and let them soak.

Don’t bring them back to a full boil. I dump them in and heat till it starts to smoke a little then soak till they sink and taste right.

30 to 45 minute boil, soak until the pot is warm to the touch.
For one sack, 5 bags powder, 3 large bottles liquid, 10 lb ea of onions, potatoes, lemons and sausage. 5 lb oranges, mushroom, carrots, bell peppers, celery, sweet potatoes, frozen corn (for the soak), 3 pineapples, 8 cans green beans and asparagus, 5 dozen boiled eggs, twin pack of pork butts from Rouses, 1/2 box salt.

Once it starts boiling, cut off the fire.
ETA: this is the way. when I say boil, I mean I cut off the fire as soon as I start seeing steam rise from the pot. It's not a full rolling boil.

I go for 3 minutes of rolling boil, cut the fire, then cool with ice.
If you don’t use ice, cut the fire at first sight of steam.
