How to cook Great Crawfish with all the fixing!!
Yall know by now that me and Malcom love some CRAWFISH! In this video we show you once of our favorite one pot recipes and just simply have a good time while filming!
**WHAT YOU NEED**
-Crawfish
- 80 quart Pot and burner
- 5#'s of your favorite dry seafood boil
- A bunch of lemons
- Couple of stick of butter
-24oz of liquid seafood boil
- 2 bottles of your favorite hot sauce
- ALL THE FIXINGS
When it comes to crawfish, it is all in how you get the water ready and seasoned. I know it looks like a lot of seasoning is going in the water but the crawfish can take it and this is a fairly large pot. We bring the pot to a boil first before adding all the seasoning. Allow the pot to boil for a 10 minutes and then allow to cool. Bring the pot back to a boil and now your are ready to add the potatoes first.
While the pot is getting happy, we wash the crawfish in a game washer. This works great and does all the work for you. After about 20-30 minutes, the crawfish were clean and ready to boil.
The potatoes took about 10 minutes to get almost tender. Now is the time when we add the crawfish and all of the ingredients. Try and keep the pot boiling and put the lid back on. As soon as I see steam coming from around the lid I set a timer for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes it is time to cool the pot down and let the crawfish and fixing soak. We used the boil boss to cool the pot down quick and keep the crawfish from overcooking. We got the water down to about 140 degrees and allowed everything to soak for 45 minutes. You can adjust the soak time to your liking.
As you can tell these turned out great and we really enjoyed ourselves after the camera was off!
Thank yall for watching!!

Did someone say crawfish? Y'all are singing my song! Looks mighty fine guys. I've never thought to put in marinated olives and I love those things. Going in my next boil for sure! I'm gonna have to check Malcom"s boil mix out. I had no idea he had one. Any idea if it's available here on the Gulf Coast? Would be a great place to sell it for sure!

Right now just at Malcoms Shop. Waiting on the bags to be made before we go nationwide for shipping reasons.

[@christopherw3221]

I love both you guys but as a born and bred south Louisiana resident, I'm questioning this boil process, little bit different than how we do its down here. Keep the videos coming.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! We try to give great examples but learn every time we cook!

[@mhurricane266]

Gonna be my second year boiling, still learning. What are the things that are different for you in the process?

[@corey1788]

@@mhurricane266 think he’s just referring to all the non standard things they added. Jalapeños, pickles, olives, and such not common crawfish boil items. But hey it’s what they like and that’s all that matters. A true Cajun boil will usually have more Cajun flavors including onion, garlic, celery etc and the potatoes corn and sausage usually go in first and the crawfish at the end since they only cook for a few minutes.

[@mhurricane266]

@@corey1788 I got ya! Thanks bro. I’m trying to take in all knowledge. I got in at the end of the season last year but I had a blast with each boil I was able to get in. There’s so many ways to do it!

@@mhurricane266 that’s what it’s all about. Take some suggestions and make it your own.

I'm South African and would really like to try some of your guys BBQs and boils. We call a BBQ a braai and most of the time do open flame cooking and spit cooks( like whole lamb over a charcoal pit). You guys make jerky, we make biltong and dry wors ( a must try and easy to make, I've converted a few American friends to biltong from jerkey, and it's a very easy process to make biltong. anyone can make it at home.. with meats we're Kind of in the same ball park just different ways of doing things.

Can you let Shrimp sit like this for 45 minutes too? Dang that looks good!!

As long as you cool the off quick you could. I may not even bring the shrimp to a boil. Have the pot boiling and drop the shrimp in. As soon as you do cut the heat off and get it cool fast. Should work out well!

[@danielbeachamp4536]

Looks great guys! I can’t wait to give this a try. Thing is I have some in the family who can’t handle spicey food though. What are some things I can do to make them flavorful but tolerable for them?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Just adjust your soak. Pull some out at 10-15 minutes for the ones that do not want them as spicy. I would not adjust the recipe because you then may not get enough flavor on them. Always taste them and adjust the soak time to get the flavor.

[@timecircle8420]

I love crawfish but that seems like over kill with all them ingredients I'd be in the bathroom all day after eating those spicy mud bugs lol

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

They were perfect. I definitely can see where it looks like overkill but I much rather start out with an over seasoned pat and adjust my soak time than an under seasoned pot and never get the flavor you want. Thanks for watching!!

[@jasonburns6411]

Is a double jet burner a must on a pot this big?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

No but it helps. You don’t have to have it as long as you adjust you cook time. I would not even worry about boiling the crawfish but just keep an eye on them and when they float they are done.

Dude! That look so good. I'm going to do one soon and try adding some different elements like y'all did!
