Method

Preparing the Crawfish

  1. 1

    Rinse the live crawfish thoroughly under cool water. Remove any dead ones and set aside in a cool place.

Boiling the Crawfish

  1. 2

    Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water. Add crawfish boil seasoning, bay leaves, halved lemon (squeezed and dropped in), whole garlic head (cut in half horizontally), and salt. Bring to a boil.

  2. 3

    Add potatoes and cook for 10 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 4

    Add corn and cook for another 5 minutes.

  4. 5

    Add the crawfish and boil for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let them soak for an additional 10 minutes for more flavor.

  5. 6

    Drain the crawfish and vegetables. Toss with melted butter if desired before serving.
