Season them in an ice chest after you boil them

You're in luck - crawfish is the magical food where everyone who cooks them is the best person to have ever cooked them

Clean the crawfish with water and lots of rock salt
Make sure that your pot is 1/3 full of squeezed lemons
Put olive oil in your water - it makes them peel better
Buy a few boxes of Tony Chacheres crab boil and sprinkle that on top of the crawfish in an ice chest and after you serve it

I put a box of salt per sack. I use two sticks of butter per sack. I use 3 lbs of slap ya mamma seasoning per sack. and I usually boil the sack for about 5-7 minutes on rolling boil.
sack = 33 lbs

My only advice is to buy a notebook or something and write down what you do on each batch and what you think of the results. Adjust from there for future boils.

1 large bag of Louisiana crawfish boil powder.
1 bottle Louisiana liquid crawfish boil.
Bring water to a boil and add seasonings.
Add potatoes when water is boiling and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Put crawfish in Basket with the potatoes and bring back to boil.
Once boiling cook 2 minutes then kill the fire.
Add corn to soak.
Soak 30-45 minutes.
That is the most basic way in my opinion. You can add whatever else you would like as far as vegetables and meats go. I personally don't like adding ice because it dilutes the water.

Use fresh not frozen overdone rubber corn.
Add sausage and some other fun stuff to the boil as already mentioned. Jalapenos are pretty good in the boil. They add flavor.
