My biggest pot is 120. I'd go just under 1/2 full, 2 salts, one pack of Chackbay, and I usually add a cup of red pepper, plus the the garlic, onions, and lemon.







I also throw in extra lemon juice, orange juice concentrate and a gallon of vinegar.

No chance I'm using Vinegar.

What do you add on round 2?

Does vinegar make them shell easier? I use that stuff on crabs but have never wondered why because that's how my dad taught me to cook them.

OTIS --

Here's my plan for Sunday (trying out a whole new recipe now because i want to try this chackbay and some chinese red pepper)

100qt pot (roughly 50qts water)
1 sack crawfish
My normal fixings (10 onion halves, 7-8 lemon halves, 10 garlic halves, some celery)
1 and 1/2 bag of Chackbay
4oz of Chinese Red Pepper (should i cut these in half, for anyone that has done them?)
2 cups zats liquid boil
1 box of Morton's salt

I know, I know -- taste the water. I just want to make sure I am in the ball park.

FWIW I'll report back with photos
