This is my recipe and I've gotten good results from this but I'm open to ideas.

Per sack.

One large container of zatarains pro boil plus an extra 14oz package of regular zatarains.

6 spice sacks.

8oz bottle of concentrate.

A sack of lemons

A bunch of garlic


I've never used chackbay but I'm willing to try it. Those of you that use it, what's your recipe?

Thanks much.

Oh and by the by. Winn dixie and rouses has live for 2.99/lb right now on the northshore.

Chackbay is best when steamed into the crawfish in a yeti.

Your recipe and mine are basically identical. Bring to boil or damn near it. Soak till they float high. Dump in chest w kid open for about ten minutes.

It really ain’t rocket surgery.

Thank you for not putting a pumpkin or watermelon or fan belt in there.

Pineapples and deflated soccer balls.

Yeah I like that recipe. It works really well but I'm open to trying the chackbay stuff.

I prefer to sous vide my crawfish. Your method is old and outdated.

When I used chackbay I used it instead of extra cayenne but did everything else the same. In your case probably use it instead of the extra package of Zats.

I use an 80qt pot.

Fill the pot about halfway and Get the water boiling good.

In the meantime cover the crawfish in salt to purge in a large container.

Put in crawfish, extra potatoes(important later), corn, sausage, celery, onions.

Once the crawfish reach 165 with an instant read thermometer, cut fire And let them soak for about half an hour to get extra juicy.

Unplug the drain on your pot and dump everything into a yeti ice chest and add 4 whole tubs of zatarains and 3 large Tony’s.

Pick up and vehemently shake the ice chest until the potatoes are smashed and pieces are everywhere. People love that. Let them sit in the ice chest to absorb flavor. You Know they’re done when the onions are extra gritty and mushy.

Enjoy with a Bud light with Lime
