No, but I usually put fresh cut oranges, as well as lemons.

The best crawfish I've ever had does this and it was pretty damn tasty. It makes sense when some people want it spicier than others.

Never tried one of those.

I find the Mich Ultra Cactus Lime beers to be great with crawfish.

Ive tried it both ways, and I am not a fan of dusting. I will always be a quick boiler and long soaker. I think I take more issue overcooking crawfish regardless if they dust or soak. That’s an even more grievous offense to me.

I know some LC baws that do the full boil then toss for some extra heat.


If we have women eating with us that don't like really hot stuff, we will dust ours a bit before eating. No shame.

Why would you want to use a dusting for an extra kick? Just let them soak for a couple more minutes and there will be extra kick as long as the water is seasoned correctly. Makes zero sense.

Someone help me understand what throwing seasoning on the outside of the shells does for the actual crawfish tail located on the interior. You dont eat the shells. Ive never had someone pour tonys on top so im not sure if it somehow permeates to the tail meat or not, but I would bet money that it doesnt.
This.
The key to good vs great crawfish has one common denominator IMO, it’s getting the water from boiling to a cooler temperature quickly. Whether that be a bag of ice or some other method. It allows the shells to accept more seasoned water and makes awesome crawfish. One caterer I saw used a metal coil with freezing water inside that he dropped directly into the pot. They were fantastic crawfish, probably the best I’ve ever had.

I just have to drop in and say that dusting crawfish is a fricking sin.

Anyone who does this shite is shitty at boiling crawfish and you should be ashamed for ruining all of those crawfish.

And ruining the day for people showing up at your crawfish boil expecting to eat good crawfish.

I had a friend from the West Bank and he said it’s not a crawfish boil without mushrooms and some pineapples in it. I never had mushrooms in it but doesn’t sound bad to go with corn and potatoes but I don’t know about the pineapples.



Mushrooms are very common, in my experience.

We've thrown just about anything you possibly can into the pot for shits and giggles. Tortellini, edamame, sprouts, asparagus, hot dogs, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.

We've scaled it down a lot, though. The sides barely get touched, and they're a pain to try to deal with afterwards.

I like to freeze 2 liters or gallon jugs and put them in my pot for the rapid cool down. I’ll also spray the outside of the pot with a hose. That combined with the frozen ears of corn makes those crawfish soak it up!

It’s always funny to me when dudes who only drink Michelob, bud or Miller lite try to make fun of dudes who drink seltzers.

Dusting, when done properly, blows soaked crawfish out the water.
Plus I have 35 pounds ready to eat every 15 minutes.
On the vegetables, if I wanted a salad or fruit salad, I’d eat one.

But I don’t take ‘food’ advice from anyone East of the basin, west of lacassine or north of ville platte.

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a soyboy partaking in a Budweiser. It’s too manly for them

Wonder if you could use an aluminum growler for that?
