Louisiana Crawfish Boil

Langkah-langkah

1. Rinse the crawfish well before cooking. You can use a handy crawfish washer like this one, if you're diving into the whole full-blown crawfish boil experience, but you can also simply wash a smaller amount in a clean sink. Remove any dead crawfish before cooking.

2. Fill your giant pot about half full of water and bring it to a boil. Add the seasoning packets, liquid boil, salt, and a whole lot of cayenne pepper.

3. Add the onions, lemons, potatoes, and fresh pineapple, and return it to a boil. When the pot is boiling, add the garlic, mushrooms, carrots, and olives. Return to a full boil.

4. Add the sausage and the crawfish. Add more cayenne, if you want it spicy. Return the pot to a boil after adding the crawfish and boil for about 3-5 minutes. The crawfish will turn a bright red and float to the top of the pot.

5. Turn the heat off and add the corn, cauliflower, and green beans. Allow the crawfish to soak for an additional 15-45 minutes. They will start sinking as they absorb the flavoring from the pot.

6. Pull a crawfish from the pot and break off the tail, tip the body upside down, and see if liquid drips out. When this happens, the crawfish is ready to eat.

7. Use a strainer to pull the food from the pot and transfer it to a large tray or bowl. Pull the pineapple and use a sharp knife to slice it thinly. Serve with Cajun dipping sauce.
