Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crawfish

    Rinse the live crawfish thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add the creole seasoning to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crawfish

    Carefully add the crawfish to the pot. Cover and steam the crawfish for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn bright red.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Butter

    While the crawfish are steaming, melt the butter in a small saucepan and squeeze in the juice of the lemon.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the crawfish are cooked, remove them from the pot and serve hot with the melted butter and saltines on the side.
