re: Boiling Crawfish for the first time...... whats your recipe?

It's really all about how much water you use to amount of seasonings. Once you get them how you like them mark your pot for your water line and going forward just add the same amount of water and seasonings.

I find that if you use ice it waters down the seasoning.

Ive had them about everyway you can cook them and will eat them no matter how they were cooked. This is just the best way that I have found.

Way too many lemons for me.
I don't mind a couple butim not trying to cook lemon flavored crawfish.

As far as seasoning goes I use a half gallon of liquid per batch.
A jug of powder for two batches, but pour it all in from the start.
No need to put extra salt, powder has plenty.
Nave no issues using butter, however if you are throwing sausage init is suffice for oil.
Ive never eaten potatoes that Are too hot, corn can get screwed up if you leave it too long.


If I'm boiling a lot (4plus sacks) I use two pots.
Let boil 2-3 mins

Everybody has there own way of doing this and honestly I've eaten some really good ones, n the same token I've watched people frick crawfish up as well, hard for me to sit and watch them do it.
