What do you throw in the pot with the crawfish

Corn
Potatoes
Garlic
Mushroom
sausage

That's all I need. Some people go overboard with it. My rule of thumb is to never make special requests if you're not the one doing to boiling. I also hate it when people bring their own extras. Don't get me wrong it taste delicious, and good when you don't want to buy a ton of crawfish and ppl can fill up on that, but I feel like it takes away from the crawfish too mich

Lima Beans
Watercress
A few containers of cake frosting (once the pot has cooled and won't melt the plastic)
Exactly 2 cans of warm Bud Light
Canned Tomatoes


And if you're feeling really adventurous, half of loaf of week old bread...it really sops up that crawfish boil flavor

Mushrooms are my favorite addition. They soak up the flavor so well.

Onions, celery, corn, potatoes, lemons, sausage, mushrooms, artichokes if cheap enough at the time, garlic and bay leaves.

I've gotten to where the only thing I toss in is corn and mushrooms. No one really eats anything else.

I add lemon but i consider that a part of the spice mixture and not a side.

I’ve had success with pineapple and jalapeño

We started throwing a few chopped sweet potatoes in and the crowd loves them. They soak up the boil really well.

If we can plan ahead we'll throw a turkey in the boil after the crawfish have been cooked and eaten. It ain't pretty but it sure tastes good.
