50lbs crawfish
2 3oz Bottles of garlic seasoning
About 6lbs of crab boil powder
About 12 oz. Of liquid crab boil
2 or 3 oz of cayenne
Sack of new taters
Sack of corn
About half a dozen lemons
Add whatever other veggies
2-3 sticks of butter
A couple cloves of garlic
A little over half a 100qt pot of water
Bring to boil adding all ingredients except corn and crawfish. Add them once boiling, cook for 6-8 min, soak for bout 20 min. Dump a little ice in on top of them once you put them in the ice chest. Do NOT dump seasoning on them afterwards.
Butter is crucial

That's gonna change a lot between burners and pot sizes.

Only amateurs and Texans do it this way

No but I can tell you how to do it right and, more importantly, why you would want to do it.
First, the why.
Sometimes you have a crowd of people over who are standing around, ready to eat. Sometimes you invite people and have them coming through all afternoon. If you have any need to have hot crawfish, ready to serve, over a couple of hours, use of an ice chest is essential.
Now the how.
Season the water with the bags of crab boil seasoning, a large jar of red pepper, several lemons, some liquid crab boil, and a can of salt. I don't use the powder crab boil with the salt in it because all it means is that you overpay for salt.
When the water is at a rolling boil, drop the basket of crawfish. When it returns to a rolling boil, turn it down slightly, but not enough to stop the boil, and boil it for about five minutes.
After five, pull the basket and drain. Dump half the crawfish into the ice chest and sprinkle red pepper and salt. Stir with the paddle. Dump the rest into the ice chest, add more red pepper and salt. Also pour in some of the boil water to keep everything wet and steamy, and to break down the salt on the outside. Stir again and then close the ice chest.
You will be serving perfect hot crawfish all afternoon or evening.

Only people I have ever seen do it were either from Acadiana or taught by them.

I do want to try the Viet-style crawfish with lemon grass and all at some point.

Are you talking about boiled crawfish? If so that’s the dumbest thing ever. All it does is put seasoning all over your hands and lips.
My cousin did it for Easter... shite was so fricking hot... it was dumb

I find the seasoning kind of dissolves with the steam in the ice chest and infuses in the crawfish.
They’re great with season in water too, obviously. Anyone saying otherwise is just naive.
