Some of us are beer drinkers, and I don’t want cold crawfish. I let the women and children go first.

If done properly like you said let them steam in the ice chest for 10-15 minutes and all the seasoning melts into the shells.
This. I put it in the boil and I dust it. Blueboy likes him sone spicy crawfish.

People acting all aghast because someone dusted their crawfish just makes them look like fanatical queers.

As soon as the water showed a hint of boiling he cut the fire off and let them soak for a half hour. I know everyone does things different but I usually let mine boil for at least 5-7 minutes before cutting off the fire.

Serious?
Compare the boiling point of water to the doneness temp of shellfish.
Note the former is much higher than the latter.
Then note how long the water is above the latter on the way to reaching the former.
You’re overcooking your crawfish.

It gets on your hands. When peeling, your hands transfer some of the seasoning to the tail meat pieces.

That is the science behind it.

Everyone ate mine, and were looking for more.
Lockport must have the same little man's syndrome as Lafayette. Glad to hear the duster got dusted.

That's what the first batch is for. Make that one medium spice for the women, children and any Aggie friends that are there. Subsequent batches get hotter and are for the men.

Let's start with that dinky arse basket. What's that hold, 3 lbs? I see 9 people in that screenshot...how many times is he gonna go back to get more for the other 8 people?

And that one old boy on the left has long sleeves. WTF? And wine? Bitch, pick up a white can and shut the f**k up!

Not sure the logic.

They want extra spicy crawfish. Here in East Texas the crawfish can be cooked bland. I dip them in Tony's if that's the case.

I'm in Dallas. Harder to find places that don't dust, but then, the ones that soak don't do it right, either, and for some reason, none of them purge as well as they should. I get mine from a local guy whose family has a farm near Ville Platte. He makes weekly runs during the season, bringing up fresh oysters, crawfish, shrimp and crabs. Great prices. Choose full sack or half sack, field run, large and large pre-purged. Prices are reasonable considering he's running a truck back and forth. This week, crawfish (field run) are $3.95 a pound in 32# sacks.
Cheaper in Baton Rouge, but not bad for DFW

That's terrible and what if you dont have to peel the ring on the tail to get the meat out?

I've been to boils where people cut the sack and dump them in.

Gross AF.

Well shite man. Just skip the dusting and keep a bowl of the powder to dunk your hands in every so often.

Dusting is a failure, IDC who does it.
