posted to recipecircus by catgurrl -- from Marcelle Bienvenu
List of Ingredients
20 lbs. live crawfish (allow 5 lbs. per person)
5 gallons water
One 26-ounce box salt
6 Tbsp cayenne pepper
4 lemons halved
10 bay leaves
6 medium whole onions
12 new potatoes (leave skins on)
6 ears shucked corn
1/4 cup olive oil (optional but it makes peeling easier) Recipe
1. If the crawfish appear to be a little muddy, rinse them well with cool water in a large tub, changing the water several times until it runs clear.
2. Put 5 gallons of water in a 10-gallon boiling pot. Add all ingredients except for the crawfish. Bring water to a rolling boil, then add the live crawfish. Cover and allow water to return to a boil. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Drain and serve on trays, or on that big newspaper-covered outdoor table. The corn and potatoes absorb the seasonings and are delicious.Serves 4
