Scored some "not habs" in the hab bin at Albertson's, so I guess I'll have to test them out in today's crawfish boil!

I want that seasoning! oh lordy yes.
I have had many boilers in my day for boiling crab. Ann has a 40 gallon 130,000 btu one that boils 30 gallons in under an hour.
Since we don't live on the coast anymore, and I don't fry Turkeys... lol I don't want one. I just want you to boil me some when we come down!

That's what a boil is supposed to look like.
Save some for me!

Awesome looking boil Phil! I really need to get a big boiler so I can do it properly. You make your own seasoning or use store bought?

I use store bought.... Zatarain's Shrimp & Boil. I prefer the Extra Spicy, but I just used regular this time
A sack of crawfish or bushel of crabs usually takes a whole one of each of these:

Lemons, potatoes, onions, garlic, sausage, mushrooms, corn, and just about anything else you can think of... cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, boudin.... I've even heard of people dropping a whole smoked ham into their boils, and they say it comes out awesome, but boiling a whole pot of seafood is expensive enough without having to buy a whole ham!
And during summer time when your peppers are ready, a handful of habaneros, Scotch bonnets, or Lemon Peppers add a ton of flavor to the mix.
Keep in mind, you don't HAVE to boil only crawfish, shrimp, or blue crabs in this mix.... Dungeness, King crab, snow crab, and lobster all come out fantastic this way too!
I'd love to get my hands on some of those Aussie Yabbies or red claws that Booma gets... that would be a coon ass's wet dream!
