Number Of Ingredients 29

3 gallons water
2/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 packages dry crab boil
1 cup liquid crab boil
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
2 bay leaves
12 new potatoes
3 ears corn, cut into thirds
3 artichokes
1 foot andouille, cut into 8 equal links
3 lemons, halved
2 yellow onions, peeled and quartered
2 heads garlic, halved
6 pounds live crawfish
6 pounds large, head on shrimp
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
1 cup melted butter, as an accompaniment
Beer, as an accompaniment
French bread, as an accompaniment
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot fitted with a basket insert, combine the stock ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Add the potatoes, corn, and artichokes. Cover and bring back to a boil, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, lemons, onions, and garlic, cover the pot and return to a boil, about 5 minutes. Taste the stock and adjust seasoning as needed. Add the crawfish and shrimp, cover, and turn off the flame. Allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes. Add the asparagus, cover, and let steep until the vegetables and crawfish are tender, 5 to 15 minutes.
  • To serve, line a table with brown paper bags and newspaper. Lift the basket from the stock and drain. Dump the basket ingredients directly on newspaper. Serve with melted butter, beer, French bread, and paper towels.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crawfish boil didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The sauce was a bit too thin and the crawfish were a little overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This crawfish boil was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was a good dish. The crawfish were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would make this again, but I would use less cayenne pepper.
