Yall make me feel like family just watching n listening to you guys

[@kaliyahmyers4768]

I probably would have never watched a 40 min long video but you made it so informative and entertaining that I watched it through. Now I'm ready to boil some crawfish inside! Thanks❤

[@SoundofMuzak91]

Happy someone posted a video of doing them in a kitchen and not outside, this way I can prepare them in my apartment!

[@XuanNguyen-gk3rs]

Ooof

[@Mr.Saephan503]

LMFAO what made you think you couldn't do this inside on your kitchen stove LMFAO

[@malikkhalid2941]

Don’t put to much seasoning it’s gone leave a strong smell in your house

[@toounique77]

You guys are awesome. I actually imagine myself being around that type of company, good southern hospitality.

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Thank you for positive feedback !!!

[@MrPanzerblitz]

Great to see a crawfish boil recipe that won't kill all my taste buds with overwhelming spiciness! I've eaten crawdads my whole life (I'm 73) and would never eat them Cajun style until seeing this video. I love Louisiana hot sauce (Trappey's brand) for it's flavor, not it's hotness. I just saw a video where the guy dumped a whole bottle of that liquid seasoning you used in the pot with a large amount of powdered seasoning and then watched them all trying to act like they enjoyed eating that crap with tears rolling down their cheeks! YOU used three cap fulls! That's what a REAL chef would do so you can taste everything! Also watched a video by a self proclaimed expert that said purging was unnecessary and claimed he would delete any "trolls" comments who said it was! WOW! Thank you for your sensible approach to this fine cuisine without all the hype about eating outdoors on newspapers and having a pickup load of crawdads for thirty cousins while trying to keep the cayenne pepper industry in business single handedly! I subscribed. BTW, those girls are adorable!

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Thank you very much for the kind words !!! We really appreciate your feedback and support for our Cooking Channel !!! Brett and David Cajun Cousins Cooking !!!

[@leathacorley4555]

Finally someone uses a milder hot sauce.. You can't enjoy it if its to hot.. Yummy

[@trentondolezal8585]

you mean too hot ;)

[@kingsdaughter777smith3]

I live alone in Australia and would like to have the recipe on how to step by step prepare the crawfish boil for two people. Here in Australia, we call the crawfish, YABBIES and they are freshwater mini lobsters... To do this on a budget and in the home, would be very good for me... Thank you for the time and effort to show how its done..

[@gregsmith6394]

You make me smile and very hungry, Thank you!

[@HollywoodCole03]

This was a great simple way to cook crawfish in the kitchen. Thank you much

[@miminguyen1491]

AWESOME VIDEO thank you! This is perfect cause I have 10lbs of crawfish tomorrow being delivered from Louisiana! And I don't have any fancy big pot or cooling system so Im happy to see this video from a couple clearly nice, genuine people. Great step by step on the process! 20 thumbs up!!

[@lrwilliams1911]

Great video fellas! I'm from Nawlins-n-moved to DFW after Katrina, and trust me it's been HARD-AS-HEYAL to find good boiled crab/shrimp like home. Everybody here is into the marinated boil-in-a-bag stuff. Thank you for showing me another way without having to buy all the heavy equipment. I will try this immediately! Thank you.

[@edboehl6186]

Makes me Smile.

[@gwynnedjackson3871]

That was so awesome and educational!! I can't wait to do this!!

[@kolettadouglas824]

Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad this was cooked in the kitchen

[@claudettejones3141]

The way this was done i can afford ... Thank you , and have a bless year ... Enjoy !!!

[@rlproctor4219]

Thank You for the Video .... I'm definitely gonna do this

[@Headwind-1]

What lovely guys

[@kcreativek]

I am craving seafood some kinda bad right now because of my pregnancy. I tell ya I wish I was in that kitchen of yours so I can partake in the deliciousness of crawfish even though I’ve never had them but they look so good 💙

[@rya8391]

you guys are awesome thanks for the wonderful steps to make such a great meal

[@MsBeyonce06]

Nice video. I like to add mushrooms, Turkey necks potatoes, corn and smoked sausage to the pot and let it all soak together for the flavor instead of taking it out. This is a great video for indoors well done🙂

[@janciviegas5009]

Great explanation and reasoning behind the cooking theory of a craw fish.Thanks very much David and Bret. I tried enjoyed very much.Excellent Video.

[@KDEEZLE]

Love the video. Only change I did was put about half a bag of ice in the pot after I cut the fire off the crawfish to stop the cooking while sitting and added the veggies back to soak. Not necessarily needed because the way y'all did it was just as good. That's the beautiful thing about cajun/southern cooking...you can't go wrong by doing things a lil different! But I didn't see no head sucking and it hurt my soul...but to each his own lmao

[@badw01f23]

This makes me wanna cook crawfish with my cousin

[@lobke666]

Looks very good and yummy. And easy to make.

[@YungJeezzy]

That's some good eating! Definitely a good alternative to those of us who don't have a huge set up but love us some crawfish!

Shelia Doucet Cajuncrawfish.com will FedEx them to you boiled or alive but it's kind of pricey. If it were me, I couldn't hold off. Id have to have some mailed to me. lol I used to live in Tulsa. Not a lot of crawfish around there. lol

[@elainjones9442]

[@diegofianza3525]

Smartly produced vid. Thanks. :)

[@its_me_CoryD]

Brett... if you give the Mayo a quick mix before adding any other of the dip ingredients, it will not have those “Mayo lumps” and will be smooth right off the bat... that’s a chefs tip! Keep pluggin’ buddy!

[@christopherbiegel9553]

I normally do my crawfish boils outside on the propane burner but if I'm just doing some for myself I'm happy to fire it up on the kitchen stove like this. Great video guys!

[@jrheiselt]

Brining is not actually the same as purging. Brining is using salt and water to preserve food. It is used to make pickles and sauerkraut. It is left in salt water for days at a time. It is not the same as putting something in for 10 minutes to lean it.

[@NPAMike]

Pretty cool i liked it. Personally i would let it soak for like 15-20mins more and i would definitely spice it up more.

[@TreeseLovee]

I can eat that whole bucket by myself . #bet

You should have had a bucket full of ice and 3 pre-opened beers each in the ice in the center of the table

Great Idea !!!!

[@benhenley6197]

I like cooking outside

[@stanstevens4822]

I've already done that with shrimp

[@barbaraguthrie5107]

Hey cousins, thanks for the budget version. If I want em a little spicier can I use that zaterans powder instead of the salt in the boilin water?

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Absolutely !!! I just did a mild version so kids can enjoy a little less spicy !!! Thanks for feedback !!!!

[@tabithaslaughter4717]

Where can I buy a strainer like you have? Your crawfish look delicious and I am sure they were.💥💥💥💖

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

It’s a 16 quart Colander. We got it on Amazon !!! Thanks for interest and great feedback !!! Brett and David Cajun Cousins Cooking

[@srpleg]

Really hope the criticism from the so called “professionals” didn’t run y’all off KZbin. I’ve watched ten other crawfish boil videos tonight. Some with millions of views and top production, but this video by far was the most genuine, helpful, and entertaining of them all. I’ve subscribed and hope you come back. 🥺

[@pchesdent1]

Thank you for this video it was very very helpful. I just have one question you only used liquid crawfish boil you didn't use the dry seasoning, Can I still use the dry seasoning or will that be too much seasoning?

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Great Question. We only used liquid because we wanted this boil to be mild. You can use dry if you want to. Just follow instructions on dry mix. Some folks like them spicy, then you would put a little more depending how spicy you like. Thank you....

[@stanstevens4822]

And his dip I've done his dip 4 years

[@TheIndianscout]

You dont purge crawfish with salt .You just rinse them with fresh water till the water is clear.You purge crabs with salt.The salt kills the crawfish they are fresh water living shellfish.

[@teresagates8647]

Where can I purchase a colander like the large metal one you are using? How many quarts does it hold?

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Great Question , It’s a 16 quart colander and We got it on Amazon !!! You can google and find them also other places. Thanks Brett and David. Cajun Cousins Cooking

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Mr Jaraell, Everything was purchased from Kroger Super market. Got live crawfish for .99 cents a lbs. 9.90 for crawfish , La Liquid Boil 2.59, La Hot Sauce 1.59; Morton Salt. .89 cents , 8 small corn 2.59, 1 lbs sausage 2.79, 1 stalk celery .59 cents, 1 large onion .99 cents, 3 small lemons .99 cents, 1 lbs red potato’s 1.99. Total 24.91 for All ingredients !!! Crawfish vary from different areas and season times. This video was made in April 2018 toward end of that season. Thanks for excellent question and interest in our Chanel . We appreciate your views and comments !!!! Brett and David Cajun Cousins Cooking !!!!

[@MrJaraell]

@@cajuncousinscooking6581 oh wow! Those are great prices. You all are lucky to be right by the water because here in St. Louis the best price per lb that I've found is $5.99. Do you know if the Kroger market where you are does shipping? Thanks for your detailed price breakdown. Makes me feel a lil jealous lol but great information and great channel.

Last time I boiled in the house the seasoning almost killed me got have the vents on and windows open next time

[@lamborghiniman02]

Saltwater kill's the freshwater creatures I think... Why wouldn't just water work for cleaning?

[@cajuncousinscooking6581]

Will Ritchie , Crawfish come from fresh water mud ponds. That’s why some people call them “mud bugs” . When they go into the salt water it makes them “Kick” when they “Kick” they kick the mud off of themselves. It’s just an old Cajun Process I learned a long time ago. Some people just wash them with fresh water, but I find with the salt they come out cleaner. I just like my Crawfish clean when I put them into the boiling pot. You can do it either way. It’s just a personal preference. Anyway thanks for watching the video and asking a great question. Thank You 😎😎😎

[@lamborghiniman02]

Ah, thanks for the update! I'll try this method out!

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

@@lamborghiniman02 The salt water does nothing but kill them.
