Louisiana Crawfish Boil 101

That writer has zero idea of how to boil crawfish. Must be another post-Katrina hipster carpetbagger.

Pretty spot on IMO, except for the potatoes. Those typically need a minimum of 10-15 min of their own boil before I throw in the craws.

Poorly worded but I think she means, bring water to boil, dump crawfish into pot, bring back to boil (which takes about 15 min), and shut off heat.

That's pretty close to how I do things. As I've gotten older, I soak more and rolling boil less.

I usually let them come to a good rolling boil for 2 min, then cut off, and then start the soak.

As far as the potatoes, I add them much earlier...

Fill pot with water, turn on fire
Add seasonings

When water first starts to bubble / foam a tiny bit, add potatoes and lemon

Wait about 5 min, add garlic and onion

When water comes to a good rolling boil, add crawfish and sausage

When crawfish comes to a good rolling boil, 2 min, then shutoff gas, add corn
