Ingredients

  • 6 lb 10 oz whole crawfish, live or cooked
  • 4¼ qt water
  • 7 oz Cajun boil seasoning
  • 4 lemons, halved
  • 2 onions, quartered
  • 1 whole garlic bulb, halved
  • 2 lb 3 oz baby potatoes
  • 4 corn cobs, halved
  • 17¾ oz smoked sausage, in chunks

Method

  1. Fill a very large pot with the water and stir in the boil seasoning. Add the lemon halves (squeezing them in), the onions and the garlic bulb. Bring to a rolling boil.
  2. Add the baby potatoes and boil for 12 minutes.
  3. Add the corn and sausage and boil for 8 minutes.
  4. Add the crawfish last, bring back to the boil, and boil for 3 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat, cover, and soak for 20 minutes — the soak is where the flavour gets in. Drain well and tip everything onto a newspaper-covered table.
