What's your crawfish boiling recipe?
Posted by Thib-a-doe Tiger on 1/25/16 at 8:37 am104
And let's discuss why putting seasoning on them after the boil is wrong.
6 onions
6 lemons
Good bit of garlic chopped in half
Couple bags of potatoes
Half and half mixture of Chackbay and Louisiana seasoning
2 boxes of Salt
8 oz of liquid crab boil
A few bay leaves
Boil all that for 12-15 minutes, then add crawfish, corn, sausage, and mushrooms.
Bring back to a boil and then shut off immediately. Let soak for 30 minutes

1 bag of the Tony's Seafood house seasoning
1 crab boil
a few topped garlic bulbs
bunch of lemons
bunch of onions
bunch of red potatoes
cubed up sweet potatoes
mushrooms for each batch
Any other veggie that's in the fridge that might taste good.
put the potatoes, lemon, some onions and the seasoning. Bring to a boil. Add the crawfish. bring to a boil and cut the fire. Sit for 10-20 minutes
drink heavily and not listen to people telling what you are doing wrong through out.
edit: forgot about the corn. Add that when you cut the fire
edit 2: forgot to add sausage

Thats a large amount of salt imo.
We use 1 bag of la crab boil and that's pretty much it for the seasoning.

The reasoning behind doing it as explained to me is that you're supposed to get it on your fingers. I usually ask those people if they dip their fingers in ketchup before grabbing a French fry, because it's the same concept

3-4 tablespoons of Cayenne

I vary the salt sometimes based of how many bags of potatoes I use. They soak up a on of seasoning and then the wife makes mashed potatoes with the leftovers

I'll hit mine with the corn to stop the cooking. I usually throw in some frozen skrimps too, for the nancy boys and girls in Bham who won't eat crawfish.
ETA: And Brussels Sprouts in a boil are further proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Ketchup is a condiment, not a spice. Do you season your French fries after you fry them? (That's the same concept).
I still don't see the issue. If it taste good it doesn't bother me. Like I said I don't partake in the practice but I don't look down on it

For the same reason you don't rub chocolate on a cow to flavor the milk.

I have never had crawfish prepared that way that I liked

You put whole boxes of salt and a whole bag of crawfish seasoning, then throw in "a few bay leaves"??
Does not compute.

need to try this. Do you just toss them in whole?
I am of the opinion that there are few veggies that taste bad in a crawfish boil so might as well mix it up.
Sweet potatoes are staple in mine now, so good.

1 sack crawfish (30-40 lbs)
purge/wash em a few times until water is clear (no salt needed)
I fill my 80 quart pot halfway with water (its marked)
add about 6 onions, 6 lemons, juice squeezed in, about 4 garlic. I use either Zatarains or Louisiana brand powder (I find the LA brand is a bit spicier)
THE Zatarains PRO BOIL sucks IMO.
bring pot to a boil (white smoke rolls out)
I boil about 5 min to ensure the onions cook through.
then add sack of potatoes (I keep in red sack)
boil 3-5 min to ensure potatoes cook
Next I add about 2-3 cans of asparagus or green beans with holes punched in top and bottom of can (labels removed), mushrooms (I put in a cooking sack so they all stay submerged) and crawfish on top of all that.
(I know people boil all sorts of things... Brussel sprouts are great to add in with the mushroom sack too.)
I Bring to a rolling boil (white smoke) and boil 2.5 minutes. I cut the fire, and add frozen corn on the cob and hot dogs and submerge with paddle.
I then "help cut the boil" by rinsing the outside of the pot with hose water.
after about 5 min I usually add some liquid boil and some lemon juice.
Start tasting them about 20 -25 min of soaking, and remove when you feel they picked up enough spice.

I use a recipe that my family has been using my entire 40+ years on earth and it calls for 2-3lbs of salt. The onions, garlic, celery, sausage, potatoes, lemons, corn and 35-40lbs of crawfish need a ton of seasoning. We also use the old school bags of Zatarain's crab boil so there is no additional salt in the pot. I've never heard one complaint of them being too salty.
re: What's your crawfish boiling recipe?Posted by SammyTiger on 1/25/16 at 9:21 am to Thib-a-doe Tiger
I have a pretty big pot, so i use a lot of seasoning.
2 jugs of the zatarans, and about 1 of the little bottle of the liquid.
Lemons
Fixin's (always at least garlic and onion, don't know if they affect the taste, but i am not finding out either)
Bring to boil, ad crawfish, bring to boil cut it
wait 30 minutes or 20 if the ungrateful SOBs i am boiling for get too impatient.
I am interested in if anyone makes their own boil mix, or if anyway has used Seafood City's boil mix. I med Al Scramuzza at World Deli a while ago, and he talked my ear off about his boil mix.
