SHERRY'S SPICY CRAWFISH DIP

Steps:

• Take one lb. of the crawfish tails and process them in a food processor until well chopped.
• Brown your sausage, onion and bell pepper in a large sauce pan; drain when sausage is done (I use my colander).
• Return the sausage mixture to the saucepan and all all of the remaining ingredients except for the 2 lbs. of crawfish.
• Mix well and cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted.
• After the cheese is melted, add the crawfish and mix well.
• Let this mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring to keep it from sticking.
• Serve this in a crockpot to keep it warm; also, it can be mixed up in the crockpot, just make sure to brown your sausage first.
• Serve with chips or if you really want a spicy kick, serve it with my recipe of Saltine Snackers.

CRAWFISH BOIL

Steps:

• Place the crawfish in a large cooler, cover with cold water and add 1 cup of the salt. Allow the crawfish to purge in the salted water for 5 to 10 minutes. (This Southern tradition is said to remove mud and impurities before cooking.) Strain the crawfish and set aside.
• Fill a 42-quart stockpot fitted with a boil basket halfway with water. Add the crab and crawfish boil seasoning and remaining cup kosher salt. Then add the sausage, corn, onions, lemon juice and rinds, garlic, butter, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully add the crawfish to the stockpot and cook until they're bright red, about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and add the ice to the stockpot to halt the cooking. Allow the crawfish and other ingredients to sit in the iced water for 25 to 30 minutes (the longer the crawfish sit, the more flavorful they become).
• Pull the crawfish, sausage and vegetables from the water using the boil basket. Serve over newspaper spread out on a table and sprinkle with seafood boil seasoning.
