I honestly have no idea. The only thing cool that I've seen my family members from BR do to crawfish is add a little brown sugar. Keeps the heat, but adds just a little "sweet" to it. Different, but pretty tasty

i absolutely do. How much depends on how much crawfish and size of pot.

For a sack of crawfish and your size pot try a package of seaoning...your choice...4 oz Zats liquid,1 box salt,1/2 cup red pepper,5 lemons,4 heads of garlic and 4 lemons. I add vinegar to the water and a bunch of other shite but that will be a good start. Taste the water before you add the crawfish...make it salty and spicy.

I use a dry boil mix. Then add in lemmons and other stuff. So, could I just add in zats cayenne pepper a cup at a time and see how it tastes?

Louisiana Fish Fry made that product and discontinued it a couple of years ago. They brought it back for this crawfish season, but it's only sold at Tony's Seafood.

I was told they have no intentions of selling it in retail stores again. They aren't even sure if they will sell it at Tony's outside of crawfish season.

Bet they would ship it to you. It's called Tony's Twice as Hot Boiling Pepper.

I may try that.I'll be in BR in late April and I'll def. stop by then but I've got a 4 sack boil to do the week before and not having Chinese screws up my recipe. 2 years ago when they quit selling it, I bought every can in Monroe I could find...

Tony's Seafood isn't the only place that sells it. Deep South Blenders out of New Orleans also sells it and it does come in small containers.

I like and use Chinese, just find it to be a little more bitter than cayenne. Whatever you do be careful when tasting Chinese pepper. One time I tasted Chinese on my tongue and apparently inhaled a tiny amount though my nose and my nose started bleeding a little and mouth was on fire for a while and ice water wouldn't help it either. It's about twice the strength as cayenne.

Years ago I was boiling them and left the table for some reason. One of my "friends" got the largest crawfish he could find, put it in front of my spot, dumped Chinese on it, and waited for the show. I came back and pounced on it, of course. Lit me up pretty damn good!
