Eric's Killer Crawfish Boil Recipe.

For a 1 pot boil, these are the ingredients required:

Bag of red new potatoes
Bag of lemons (about 10)
Bag of small yellow onions (about 6 or 8)
Bag of garlic cloves (about 5 full heads)
Box of whole mushrooms
Pack of smoke sausage
6 ears of frozen 1/2 ears of corn
64oz. jar of either Zatarains or Cajunland boil mix
One small (tall/thin) bottle of cayenne, about 8 oz
Box of salt (just to jazz up the second boil)
One small bottle of liquid crab boil, about 8 oz
(you can add a little more of the corn, sausage, potatoes, mushrooms, if you desire.)

Instructions:

1 sack (usually around 45 lbs +/-). Rinse crawfish thoroughly with fresh water to remove excess mud. NEVER purge with salt – this will only kill them.

Add water a little over half way of an 80 quart pot. With the basket in the pot, add the following:
Add all powder boil mix
Add ½ liquid boil
Add ¼ cayenne pepper
Add lemons
Add garlic
Add onions
Add potatoes
Bring to boil
Add Crawfish
Return to boil
Kill fire once water returns to a boil
Soak for 30 minutes
Add salt (if needed)
Add sausage
Add corn
Add mushrooms
Pour on table, grab fresh beer and start peeling.
Important: If you do not know how to peel a crawfish you should not attempt to boil crawfish. Please step aside and let a trained professional do it.
