re: What’s your crawfish boil technique? Does it change with your ingredients?

I’ll use 1 big bag of white trash with ten lemons or so start the fire
Put potatoes and mushrooms in get it going to a good boil
Throw in sack of crawfish bring it to a pretty hard boil shut off heat
Add one small bag of seasoning stir real good
Crack a dozen or two eggs in with no shell
Put the lid on while hosing down outside of pot with water for a good couple minutes.
Let it sit for 20 minutes or so. When the eggs are done everything is done.
Main thing to remember is make sure water is not boiling when you put in eggs and crack them open right over the water so they stay together.

I generally soak to taste so they take a bit longer if they are bigger. Recipe doesn't change though.
As I've gotten older, I find I cook them less and soak them more. Overall time in pot is more. I'm more patient these days.
Powder, liquid, lemons go in as soon as fire comes on.
When water starts to do tiny bubbles / froth, I add potatoes, onions, garlic, celery
When water gets to a good rolling boil, I add crawfish, hot dogs, smoked sausage
After it comes back to a good rolling boil, 2 min, cut fire, add corn, ice, pineapple, and start soak process.
Test after 20 min and every 5 min thereafter.

Dont boil small crawfish for 5 minutes. You'll overcook them.
Light fire, add your powder seasoning, lemon, liquid. Once you bring it to a boil add your garlic, potatoes, onions, etc. and boil for 5 minutes or so. Then throw in your crawfish. Bring back to a rolling boil and cut your fire. After you cut your fire add your sausage, mushrooms, corn and stir frequently to release heat. Start tasting after 20 minutes of soak time.
