Went to a boil today, was asked to help the cook out and he dropped some knowledge on me....

1. Boil the crawfish for at least 15 minutes, it makes them easier to peel.
2. Don't use ice to speed up the soaking process, it don't work.
3. The faster the water is boiling, the hotter it is.



The crawfish were, of course, way overcooked and didn't peel worth a shite. I had a friend divert him somewhere else on the last batch and I shut it off as soon as he was out of earshot(about 5 min), also threw in some ice. He was mighty proud after the complements on the last batch

I don't believe any of that.

Here's a downvote.

Only way to improve is boil in plain water then sprinkle with seasoning after.

Who the hell would boil crawfish for 15 minutes? Enjoy your sea mush.

Next time leave this part out. Your story might be more believable.

If I had a dollar for every guy that told me his recipe for boiling crawfish I wouldn't be boiling crawfish for a living cause I'd be rich

Boil them that long and you probably can't peel them. They'll have the consistency of potatoes that were boiled for about 2 hours.
