Talking about cooking or maybe just reheating?

Do you want your house to smell like a seafood market for a few weeks?

Reheating you can steam them on stove top but personally I think they are great cold.

Cooking I say it would be better to just go buy some at the store already boiled.

Brings me back to growing up in the 60's when my grandmother use to boil crayfish on the stove all the time.

sure, why not? used to do it on a regular basis back in the day... just open all windows, turn on fans, vents, air condition, etc. etc.. boiling em somewhere is better than nowhere..

Hell yeah, break the tails off first. Better yet, buy a couple of pounds of peeled ones and drop them in some seasoned water.

I love the smell so I wouldn't mind it lingering in my house for a while.

seems like you would have to have a major burner on their to get it hot enough to boil if you are boiling a decent amount but I am sure anything is possible.

Maybe I'm being retarded here and I pretty much know nothing about boiling seafood

But if it's the crab boil that makes the smell why not just do without it?

I'm sure you could conjure up some other way to make the crawfish taste good.

Throw in a bunch of salt, garlic, hot pepper etc...

But like I said...I don't know WTF I'm talking about and generally don't care much about crawfish anyway.

That's the only way my mother cooked them when I was growing up. No issues at all, but those were the days of the seasoning bags. We may have had liquid crab boil. I suspect she opened the windows and turned on the attic fan, but I am not sure of that,
