Crawfish Boil Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crawfish

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

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add the crawfish boil seasoning, halved lemons, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and salt.

    Add Vegetables and Sausage

    Add potatoes and andouille sausage to the pot. Allow to boil for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Corn and Crawfish

    Add the corn on the cob and the rinsed crawfish to the pot. Boil for an additional 5-7 minutes or until crawfish turn bright red and are fully cooked.

  5. 5

    Let it Sit

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak in the flavors.

  6. 6

    Serve
