Boiling Crawfish- Recipe Suggestions??

[jtilk]

So it's about that time of year again when crawfish are in season, and they have a local cookoff me and some friends are considering doing just for kicks. This will be my first cookoff doing anything other than Q ... does anyone here have a recipe for boiling crawfish other than just adding the stereotypical boil mix?? I've done it before by adding the boil mix, garlic, lemon and onion in the past but I'm looking to change it up and try something unique.

Sounds like you've got the right start...how bout you do a whole crawfish boil...potatoes, corn, etc.
1 sack live crawfish, 35-40 lbs

1 ounce dry crawfish, shrimp & crab boil ( Zatarain’s has a great one for this, they also make some extra spicy versions.)

5 lbs halved new potatoes, red, white or a combo of both

5 large onions

2 cups butter or margarine

18 ears of corn on the cob

10 lemons, halved

3 ounces liquid shrimp & crab boil( again Zatarain’s makes a few different varieties)

1 small bottle Louisiana hot sauce

That's correct, if u use a bock beer it will give the bugs a more pronounced bold flavor.
