Louisiana Crawfish Boil

1- 12 oz bottle of liquid crab boil

salt

– 28 lbs of live Crawfish

lemons,

onions,

garlic

mushrooms

red potatoes

corn

celery,

Peppers,

Cajun

In a large container or ice chest rinse your live crawfish off and soak them for 2 or 3 minutes, drain and repeat until the water runs clear.

Pour 6 gallons of water into a boiling pot with a strainer basket. Add 1- 12 oz bottle of liquid crab boil, 1/2 container of salt, and 4 smalls bags or 1 large bag of powdered Crawfish, Shrimp &amp; Crab Boil to the pot until boiling. Note- we use 4 16 oz. bags of seasoning for 25 lbs of crawfish. For a whole sack of crawfish 30-40 lbs use the entire large bag (4.5 lb ) and a 16 oz. bag of Louisiana Crawfish Shrimp &amp; Crab Boil Seasoning and one container salt. You may want to add more vegetables if you’re cooking a whole sack of crawfish. Also, look for bags of small red potatoes in the netted bags and throw the whole bag into the pot.

Add lemons, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and two containers of mushrooms. Bring to a boil for 7 minutes.

Add sausage, celery, potatoes, corn on the cob (fresh or if frozen make sure corn’s defrosted) Cook on a low boil for 15 minutes then return to a full boil, next add the crawfish.

Once you add the Crawfish to the boiling water, return the water to a boil. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes. 

Immediately after you turn the pot off add 1-2 bags of ice, let the crawfish soak for 15 minutes. After the crawfish soaks, remove the crawfish pulling the basket strainer out and pour onto a table layered with newspaper and dig in!

They look so fabulous! I would love to have this on our table, so tasty and yummy!

I'm from FL and traveled to Venice, LA for a 2 day fishing trip for my 40th (which was epic, going to be a bi-annual thing no). Anyway, stopped ans bought 33 lbs of live crawfish on the way home and some local seasonings. I found this recipe online and followed it. Cut the quantities a little as my pot was smaller and half my crawfish were dead when we cooked them. Let me tell you, this recipe was amazing. All my family, who are foodies were amazed. Thank you!!!
