Crawfish Boil

Print Recipe
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds crawfish
  • 1 Zatarain’s Crawfish Shrimp & Crab Boil Bag
  • 1/2 cup Zatarain’s Concentrated Shrimp and Crab Boil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 lemon halved
  • 1/2 pound smoked sausage links cut into chunks
  • 2 ears of fresh corn cut into thirds
  • 1 pound new or small red potatoes
Instructions
  • Fill your 80-quart boiling pot 3/4 of the way full with water and bring it to a rolling boil. If you’re using a smaller pot, you can divide the ingredients accordingly or boil in batches.
  • Add the Zatarain’s seasoning bag, concentrated shrimp and crab boil, Cajun seasoning, cayenne, lemon halves, and cut sausage to the pot.
  • Toss in the potatoes and let them boil for about 5 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces through them.
  • Add the crawfish and corn to the pot and cook until the crawfish turn a vibrant red, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the crawfish and vegetables, draining them over a pot.
  • Transfer the crawfish and veggies to a newspaper-lined surface and sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning and salt if desired. If you don’t want to go as casual as newspaper lined tables. I often serve mine in galvanized serving trays, and use table linens. I just throw the linens in the wash immediately after.
