Anyone ever use Louisiana crawfish boil powder as a rub?

You mean like Zatarains's powdered crab boil?

It contains a shitload of salt. I'm sure too much to make it an effective rub. I've never used it as a rub. But, boiling meat in it along with some celery and onions and lemons and garlic a few other things, then grilling is for a char and extra flavor is absolutely delicious though.

I know someone who rubs some on chicken before flouring and frying it. He swears it's legit.

I've never tried it.

I've used it. With this stuff, less is more. i made the mistake of using a whole bag of Louisiana Crab boil on three racks of ribs and absolutely ruined them.

I use it when I'm boiling pasta or rice... use very little, like people have said it has a lot of sodium and a little pinch goes a long way.

How's your wife feel about that, baw?
