Great video, straight to the point no nonsense. I have seen a lot of videos that took 20 minutes or more and you finished in under 4 minutes. Thanks a lot for the recipe yours is the one I'll use.
very similar how we do it but also add margarine and celery, and we let all the veggies go for a while before the crawfish to develop all the flavors in our stock. thank you for not making a 20 minute video, loved it =)
Great stuff as always. I have a thought on how you can tell if the crawfish is undercooked or overcooked and wanted your feedback. Undercooked would have a very stiff shell where it would be difficult to get the meat out and overcooked would be where the shell is very soft and meat comes out too easily. Is this a fair assessment of these two scenarios?
So you start the 5 minute time immediately as soon as you pour in the crawfish? Or once its back up to a boil? Ive seen both but Im not sure. Also, depending on which of those method you do is it still beneficial to cool the pot off?
If you don’t ice them down at the end do they over cook while they soak for a half hour? And is that half hour with the burner off long enough to cook the shrimp and crab through?
@@southernboyzoutdoors502 LOL its been raining I wouldn't be surprised. I have been watching videos at home dreaming of eating well-cooked crawfish and stumbled across your amazing video.
The guys at Texas A&M have proven that you just need to wash & rinse them several times and that's all. They say that purging them with salt water just kills them and isn't needed.
There is no evidence from this study that suggests the use of salt in cleansing crawfish was beneficial. this statement is taken directly from the article you posted.
@@MitchH452 "Salt provided no significant advantage in this study, despite the claims". That's from the article you posted lol. I used to purge them with salt water but I just now clean with with regular tap water. Alot of ppl here in Louisiana still do it but alot of us quit too when we found out that salt literally did nothing.
Full send bro never lift 😏🤙mobbin deep🙌. Short simple easy to remeber! Make monkey hug a hound dog 🤙N love straight up videos got to the point and made it entertaining
wow, this video has me wanting to head back to Louisiana as soon as possible -- one question though -- some of these videos have you add ice to cool things down while the crawfish soak -- you guys didnt do that -- does it make a big difference? Is there a reason why you don't? Just curious, great video!
Chris Capano It’s the shell of the crawfish that makes the difference. I don’t like to slow the cook down to fast on my crawfish. Down here everyone boils their crawfish different...
Crawfish aren't scavengers like crabs so you don't "purge" them like you do crabs. Basically, what you do with crawfish is bathe them in water to wash the mud/dirt/debris off of their bodies. You can put them in a large ice chest and fill it water while having the drain plug open. The ice chest will fill and you gently stir them around while the water slowly drains. Do this 2-3 times until your water isn't dirty anymore. DO NOT use salt. Salt will kill them and they don't need to throw up whatever they have eaten (probably rice). A crawfish will also drown if left in water too long. I've grown up around the industry since it took off in the 70's (I'm 54) and I've never put anything in my purge water. "Al Scrimuza would slap ya for doing anything other than bathing them babies" . That's an old New Orleans saying BTW.
is it long enough to cook the potatoes? i guess it's like 10 mins to boil the whole pot of water, 5 mins boiling with the crawfish, and 30 mins later in soaking? wait, i forget it's small potatoes, then it should be fine.
From New Orleans and wanted to try something a little different the other day so i tried pineapple in th boil! Big mistake!!!!!! I. My opinion it was soooo nasty! Some people talk about how good it is but it was very nasty
I don’t think shrimp and crabs should be in the same water as the crawfish was, but shrimp and crabs can mix. Alsooo that’s a lot of fuckin seasoning godddammm
I’ve done this recipe 25 times now and it’s the best there is
Been using the same process for over 2 years.. Thanks for keeping it simple, getting ready for 2020 season..
I’ve never had crawfish and this is one of my favorite videos.

The best crawfish boil video I seen.
This is always the go-to video. Amazing on the first try doing these steps.

Been using this video as my guide for a few years now. Great recipe 🤘🤘
how many pounds of crawfish was used ?
Nice video n perfect n simple recipe! Thanks!
How big of a pot are u using I want to purchase one to do a crawfish boil thank u and the videos are great

Awesome video man! One question though, how many lbs of crawfish did you use for 8 gallons of water?
So you start the 5 minute time immediately as soon as you pour in the crawfish? Or once its back up to a boil? Ive seen both but Im not sure. Also, depending on which of those method you do is it still beneficial to cool the pot off?
mhurricane266 once it comes back to a boil
If you don’t ice them down at the end do they over cook while they soak for a half hour? And is that half hour with the burner off long enough to cook the shrimp and crab through?
Brennan Blakeney I find adding ice dilutes the seasoning in the crawfish.
Nope
yessssss thank you for showing them how it’s done!
quick and easy. looks so yummy did it with perfection
Nam Nguyen About to Eat Some now
@@southernboyzoutdoors502 LOL its been raining I wouldn't be surprised. I have been watching videos at home dreaming of eating well-cooked crawfish and stumbled across your amazing video.
question? If I have more than 1 batch of crawfish can I reuse the same water or should I restart the whole process?
you can throw in more crawfish right after the first batch no problem
Do you do the 30 minute soak with the pot covered or uncovered?
bravo2aviation uncovered
I always purge mine first in salt water, but not for 3 days like Larry did. But they look finger lick'in good.

You made it look easy..
Are those 3 oz. bags of Zatarain's? or are they bigger than 3oz?
Ummm so good
Damn that looked delicious
How many pounds of crawfish were used
Michael Godeaux good question...
Probably 30-40
how may lbs of crawfish is that you are adding
Y'all did the damn thing luv short sweet and too the point! Now can u tell me how to purge them things
most overall accepted way seems to be 20 minutes in clean water. most agree salt just kills them
Crawfish aren't scavengers like crabs so you don't "purge" them like you do crabs. Basically, what you do with crawfish is bathe them in water to wash the mud/dirt/debris off of their bodies.

That's how you make a cooking video.

looks delicious!
What size barrel is that??? How many quarts?
80 qt
🎶?
Did you use the salt to take the poop
Bralyn Nesbitt We wash and purge them but I’ve never seen where Salt gets all the pop out of them.
Was that one sack, and was the corn, shrimp frozen?
Marlin Hargrove the sack is crawfish boil spices they come in a little sack just for flavor
yes 1 sack or 30-35 lbs, the Corn was frozen, but it looked like the shrimp was not frozen (or cooked)
Lol what is this a commercial for zatarain's
is it long enough to cook the potatoes? i guess it's like 10 mins to boil the whole pot of water, 5 mins boiling with the crawfish, and 30 mins later in soaking? wait, i forget it's small potatoes, then it should be fine.
Nice time stamps bra
No sausage?
FUCK YEAH, that's what I'm talkn about
From New Orleans and wanted to try something a little different the other day so i tried pineapple in th boil! Big mistake!!!!!! I. My opinion it was soooo nasty! Some people talk about how good it is but it was very nasty
Pretty Smitty I’ve never tried Pineapple...
@@southernboyzoutdoors502 you might like it but i just wasn't into it! Great vids tho! I actually used your video to perfect my shrimp boils!!!!👍
Everything looks good ....till you tip in 10 pounds of Zyterion Bauxite with liquid thermal fixer.😀
what size pot is that
80 qt is what holds 1 sack of crawfish and all the fixins
How many pounds did you cook
Preston Day 30 something
I don’t think shrimp and crabs should be in the same water as the crawfish was, but shrimp and crabs can mix. Alsooo that’s a lot of fuckin seasoning godddammm
RACKOON it’s AllGood
Yes we know how to do it
Yes we can put shrimp and crawfish together
how big is that pot???
Shaimea Maeweather that's what I'm wondering!
So I guess that 100 foot of garden hose made of rubber adds to the flavor of your dish? Hahahahaha
How should we fill the pot?
It is always funny to watch "dem good ole boys from down south" try to cook! Look up a "fish boil" from Wisconsin and we will show you how to cook!
82raptor Ok 👌 Y’all Boil Fish??
82raptor who The hell wants boiled fish!?! 🤢🤢
Looks disgusting
before ya boil crawfish, place them in clean water a few days before and change everyday to clean their systems out.. taste better this way.
Lol Sorry but if you put crawfish in fresh clean water for a few days. They would all die before you boil them.
Larry Flake boy no
Nooo you don't that
You don't know what you talking about
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶?
Fucked it up with the shrimp
Melissa Williams you got allot to learn about Louisiana cooking.
@@southernboyzoutdoors502 shrimp and crawfish taste different booboo.
Melissa Williams Lol 😂 Are you kidding Me. Like I sad you have allot to learn about South Louisiana Cooking
@@southernboyzoutdoors502 hahahahahahah yeah I actually was kidding. I'm from baton rouge. Chill. I just rather crawfish
I love my saints, my tigers, and my crawfish
Whoa soak for 30 minutes what?

Mike Da Tiger Lol 😂

This should be how to ruin a sack of crawfish, waaay too much seasoning. I bet it taste like a chemical plant. This is how not to do it.
Rob O What ?? Lol What a Joke?? This is Louisiana we cook with seasoning.
