Crawfish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Crawfish

    Rinse the live crawfish thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a colander to drain the water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seasoning

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the salt, Old Bay seasoning, and the juice of the lemon. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Cook the Garlic

    Peel and crush the garlic cloves. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Boil the Crawfish

    Once the water is boiling, add the cleaned crawfish to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the crawfish turn bright red.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Remove the crawfish from the pot and drain. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crawfish with the sautéed garlic and butter, and chopped parsley. Toss gently to coat.

    Serve the crawfish hot, garnished with additional lemon wedges and parsley if desired. Enjoy your Louisiana-style crawfish!
