Family secret, and I cant give up.


No ice involved, that's all I say.

Put zesty Italian dressing in the boil.

A big key thing though is sunny delight.

Then after you are done and they are in the ice chest and you really wanna make the guests happy and have that razzle dazzle, just get a bunch of seasoning and pour it on top on the crawfish after they are done.

Your social media tags are gonna be on fire

The absolute best method I’ve found is to get everything set out, then when two or three guys inevitably walk up and start talking about how they do it, let them while you drink beer.

I use Castnet seasoning with liquid too. 3 minute boil and minimum 30 soak, usually 45. Fresh corn and snow crab legs drop in while I’m breaking the boil. I have a built in sprayer in my pot to break the boil and use a boil boss paddle thermometer to know when to kill it.

I like to heat water above 212 degrees Fahrenheit then add crawfish.

Mustard and dust is the only way....



...to get throat punched.



Just purge them, boil them and let them soak until they taste right. Too many people try and get too fancy. I blame tiktok.

After normal stuff….

Salad dressing in the boil

Cubed ham in the boil to sweeten things.

Throw in oversized YETI after, dust, squirt with mustard, and shake shake shake

Dump on a table, enjoy.
