Boiling dem crawfish
 
Its the time of year to start to buying and boiling crawfish. I know everyone has their own way of boiling them so I lets hear you preferred method. From vegetable, seasonings, purging, boiling times, secret ingredients etc...

I'm old school.

I like to clean in purge in the #3 tub.........
Bag seasoning, cayenne, salt, bay leaf, Louisiana Hot sauce, lemons, and Limes.
Corn, Potatoes and garlic. Oh, and mushrooms.

seven minutes boil time........twenty to twenty five minutes soak.

Old school all the way.
Have not found a dump and boil I like yet.

x2 cept i freeze gallons of water and use it to cool the boil after 7-10min so they stop cooking during the soak and i can soak for longer i like em hot hot .......more for me that way!!!:smokin:

I switched to Swamp Dust last year. We love it. I always double pot when I boil mine and have not found a better way to do it. It takes a little more work, but they come out awesome.

Damn now I want some crawfish...I use the louisiana brand seasoning.

Big Kahunaz 03-13-2011 11:20 AM
We steam 'em

5" of water in the pot..(no seasoning)..when the water begins to boil dump the crawfish in pot and time 5 min once steam starts to roll out of top of pot.

Once 5 min has passed dump the crawfish in an ice chest with 2 sticks of butter, lemon juice, bottle of mustard, and zatarans seasoning,

Stir and let sit/steam in ice chest (along with previously cooked mushrooms, taters, onions, garlic, corn etc) for 15 min.

Making me hungry too!

So yall don't boil them? Yall just put barely any water and steam them? ...never heard of that.

Hopedale Hustler 03-13-2011 12:05 PM
Sounds kinda like they'd be bland

Big Kahunaz 03-13-2011 12:24 PM
BEST crawfish ever! lol....in no way shape or form are they bland (can make em as hot as you'd like)......the steam soaks up the seasoning in EVERY crevice of the crawfish! Once i had em steamed...i never looked back! HA

A buddy of mine showed us how his cajun grandparents and their family cooked em back in the day and everytime we have a crawfish boil it's done this way.....gone from family to friends etc.....

Crabs we do em the same way!

Hopedale Hustler 03-13-2011 12:45 PM
Gonna have to try this

joshdomingue 03-13-2011 02:42 PM
We steam them when we get the big boys ..... To me it makes them easier to peel

Does anyone also use the liquid crab boil along with the seasoning mix? If so, how much is recommended?
