Crawfish Boil

Easy Crawfish Boil

Ingredients (Recipe makes 4 Servings)

 

2 Lb live crawfish

 

1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters

 

3 Oz Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil Seasoning Mix

 

1 lemon, sliced in half

 

1 Lb red potatoes, cut into quarters

 

4 ears of corn, each cut into 3 pieces

Instructions

At least 1 hour prior to cooking, place crawfish in an ice chest and fill with fresh water. Add 2 tablespoons salt, stir the crawfish around, let sit for 15 minutes, then drain and repeat.

After second time draining refill with water and no salt and let sit for 10‑15 minutes. Remove any dead crawfish, then drain and set aside.

Fill an 8‑quart pot with 4 quarts water. Add seasoning mix, lemon, onion and potatoes. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat and cook for 15 minutes.

Add corn to boiling mixture and cook for 3 minutes, then add crawfish to pot and cook for 5 more minutes.

Turn off heat and let crawfish sit—the longer they sit the better they get!

Remove pot from heat and drain water.
