Not my recipe but one I had last year had a bunch of bay leaves in it. I enjoyed it.

I have never had a crawfish boil with too much lemon. Been to many without enough. Outside of heat levels, I think citrus is most important flavor. I usually add oranges to the lemons

Sweet potatoes and pineapple are my favorite non-traditional adds.

The weight of the boiling sack they come doesn't keep them from floating?

Do you halve or quarter? How long are they in the boil for? I did them one time but most disintegrated into the boil. The bits that remained intact were great.

A must

Not too much water



I go to the top of the 5th ring of holes on my basket, 7th if I'm doing 2 sacks

Jug of seasoning



That helps, plus a little extra salt

I slice them into disk and toss them with the crawfish, maybe a little before if they are thick
