- Fast prep — no cleaning or purging needed
- Social vibe — built for sharing
- Full experience — it’s more than just the food
Ingredients
- 3–5 lbs pre-cooked crawfish (frozen, thawed)
- 1/2 cup Cajun boil seasoning (plus extra to taste)
- 3–4 lemons, halved
- 2 onions, quartered
- 1 head garlic, halved
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 4 ears corn, cut in halves
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- Optional: shrimp, crab, mushrooms
Let’s Cook
1. Thaw (No Rinse Needed)
Thaw crawfish in the fridge overnight or under cold running water.
No need to rinse or purge—they’re already cleaned and pre-cooked.
2. Build the Pot
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
Add Cajun seasoning, lemons, onions, and garlic.
This is your flavor base—season boldly.
3. Start with the Heavies
Add potatoes first—cook about 10–12 minutes.
Then add sausage and corn.
4. Add the Crawfish (Reheat Only)
Add crawfish and return to a light boil.
Heat for 2–3 minutes, then turn off heat.
Already cooked—don’t overcook.
5. The Soak (Key Step)
Let everything sit in the hot seasoned water for 10–20 minutes.
The longer it sits, the deeper the flavor.
6. Drain + Serve
Drain and dump it all onto a lined table or tray.
Sprinkle extra seasoning if you like it spicy.
