Who here eats crawfish?!?

shrimp are overrated and over used. a true cajun boils his crawdads with some tators, corn, mushrooms, garlic, onions, cellery, etc, and about a full tub of seasoning boiled to perfection.As stated before pinch them tails and **** da heads! all the flavor will be in the heads and mushrooms. If you know how to eat them there is no effort involved.

3 step procedure:

pull apart

**** head

pinch tail and **** meat out...move on to next one unless the claws are big enough to enjoy

haha, you're from Louisiana aren't you?

Crawfish is awesome. I remember last year the university had a all you could eat crawfish for the students. I was told they had about 1000 lbs. of crawfish. You better believe we took a few to go boxes full of them to the house.

Yeah, but if you spend about six hours drinking beer and eating "real" crawfish as soon as they are tossed out on the table you will have a much better time than if you sit around eating breakfast with your mom.

This is how I do it.

You need:

Huge aluminum pot w/ drain basket.

Zataran's seasoning (2 bottles liquid, 4 pouches, 2 jugs powder)

butane burner and butane

Ice chests

ALOT of salt (7-8 boxes)

few boxes of Tony's

Few bags of ice

BEER.

Wash the crawfish while they are in the sack. Put the live crawfish in large ice chest and fill w/ water, stir em around and drain after 2-3mins. Pick out any dead ones.

Pour 2 boxes of salt on em and cover them w/ water. Let them set for ~30mins.

Drain, repeat.

Fill huge pot ~1/2 w/ water and add seasoning. 2 pouches, 1 bottle liquid, gallon of powder. (more depending on size of pot, water will be RED done if right) Bring to boil.

Once boiling put crawfish in drain basket and lower in. Cover and bring it back to a boil and let em boil for 7mins. After 7mins, kill the fire and open pot. Put a bag of ice on the crawfish and cover again. Let it set for 7mins more.

After that, drain te crawfish and put into clean ice chest. As you pour em in, sprinkle Tony's on em.

Eat them lil ****ers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

We usually boil at least 80-90lbs for the family. Have boiled up to 500-600lbs for parties.
