Sometimes I think you enjoy being hated on here. This should be illegal btw. I hope your neighbors call ICE and get you deported for ruining those crawfish that gave their lives just to get dusted

funny you should mention that, my daughter and I were having brunch this morning and she said she was having problems with her fridge, from what she told me I think it's shot, she said "maybe I can use the beer fridge you have in your laundry room," she said my face turned ghostly white and she thought she might have to call the paramedics

Never heard of this, ever. Except by some on here… I’ll take the zero and never do that.

Go to Tony’s on Plank Road.
Pro tips: Don’t make complete stops at stop signs. Leave enough room in front of you to make a getaway at stop lights. Go during daylight. Keep head on a swivel and be ready to floor it.
Bonus: Get boudin balls and some boiled shrimps as well. Corn and potatoes naturally are purchased too.

I agree, I will eat them but too much work for too little meat.

Ive finally learned how to do them this year after my 4th or 5th trial.
1. Do not use connecha, its not worth the price even if its the best sausage on earth. Get the cheap 2.99 lb sausage, and its actually very absorbant and tastes amazing. Cut into bite size bites, not 2.5 inch cuts. Just under an inch. It gets eaten up every time.
2. Big mistake i didnt get the first time i looked it up is cooling the water off with frozen corn and/or ice. Corn is more ideal. Hot range is just under boiling.5 to 7 minutes on boil, corn in reducing temp, and soak 15 to 20.
3. Spice tf outta it. Citrus it with lemons and orange, overdo the boil spice, and dump plenty of cayenne.
4. As for purging, just keep washing them bugs until the water runs clear. Get the dirt n crud off, dont bother with the guts. 48 mins vs 48 hours. You wont notice anyways, youll be half drunk anyways. Also 4.5, dont get too drunk when youre the chef.
5. This one is controversial but i hope to get a little reception here... dont just suck the heads, crush the head. Flavor explosion. After a long soak where its soft and spicy, good lord is it good.
Now what id like myself is some advice on how to get good potatos. They dont absorb well, ive tried mini reds, quartered reds, soaking a long time, yukons quarters and minis... theyre always bland. I suppose youre just supposed to dip them in butter but id like to make them better.
Number 1 advice, just do the damn thing. Trial and error is how i made an amazing boil, amazing gumbo, amazing ettufey, etc. Its not hard, it just takes a few tries to learn from mistakes and deliver.

Rinse them till water is clear enough to drink.
Add a bag of powder seasoning you like and (celery onions,garlic,bell pepper lemons ) , and bring to a boil drop crawfish and boil till they float to the top and kill the fire.
Taste them after soaking for 20mins and add liquid crab boil and salt if needed taste again after 30mins.

I’ve done it several different ways. I have no idea what the best way is.

I did 30 lbs for my wifes cousins sons 16th a month ago, and it went well but i didnt account for that much crawfish vs spice. I spiced it for 10-15 lb boil and it turned out perfectly fine, but it wasnt bursting with heat and flavor like normal. Was really disappointed since i was trying to show em how well i cook lol. But i did learn something. Ive only done maybe 8 boils, still honing my skills.
