Crawfish Boil Recipe
Ingredients:
30 pounds live crawfish (one sack)*
2 cups salt for purging
2 (3 ounce) boxes crawfish or crab or shrimp boil seasoning or 2 cups liquid crab boil
20 small onions, peeled
Smoked sausage, cut up into large pieces
Whole mushrooms
5 pounds small red or new potatoes, unpeeled
10 to 15 ears of freshcorn on the cob, shucked and broken in halves
Whole mushrooms
* Crawfish season is from late February to mid-May. If buying crawfish in advance, keep live crawfish at 36-46 degrees for approximately 3 days with wet burlap sacks, towels, etc. on top. Let crawfish return to room temperature before using.
If you have not already done so, drink a cold beer.

Purging the Crawfish: The cardinal rule is to purge and thoroughly wash the crawfish before boiling them. Placing them in a plastic children's pool, large tub, or a large ice chest - rinse them in enough changes of water for the water to run reasonably clear. Then add more water to cover the crawfish and add 2 cups of salt. This forces them to purge themselves of impurities. Stir for 3 minutes, then rinse crawfish. After purging and cleaning, don’t leave the crawfish covered with water, as they need air to stay alive. Keep the crawfish in a cool or shaded area until you’re ready to start cooking. NOTE: Be careful not to let them purge too long. You do not want them to be dead when you add them to the boil.
In a large (18- to 20-gallon) pot over high heat, add enough water to fill a little more than halfway. Add crawfish or crab boil seasoning. Cover pot and bring water to a boil; boil 2 to 3 minutes to allow the spices to mix well.
Using a large wire basket that fits into the pot, add onions, sausage, mushrooms, and potatoes. Maintain a boil and cook 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add crawfish to the wire basket, stirring them a bit; cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes (being careful not to overcook the crawfish). Remove wire basket from pot.
To serve the traditional way, cover a table (preferably outdoors) with thick layers of newspaper. Spill the contents of the basket (onions, potatoes, sausage, mushrooms, and crawfish) along the length of the newspaper-covered table. They are best served hot.
Makes 10 servings.

We also do this but put ice on to stop the cooking and let the season do it
job.

Thanks, everyone ... sad times for us ... the funeral was such a celebration of his life ... everyone laughed and cried ... "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion." ... I'm always amazed at how strong people can be when tragedy strikes ... this family really pulled together ... Henry would have been so proud of them ... and he would have LOVED having all those people there in the church just for him.

Anyone like Kenny Rankin? I'm going to interview him ... he's on the new Monica Mancini CD ... great voice ...

We use this thread to share so much information ... I agree the mods should keep it around ...
