SWEDISH CRAYFISH BOIL



Swedish Crayfish Boil image

Kraftskiva, a Swedish harvest celebration, is centered around a heaping platter of crayfish, which have been boiled with fresh dill. Crayfish need little more than a dollop of lemony mayonnaise to accentuate their delicate flavor.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 pounds live crayfish
1 gallon water
4 cups stout, such as Guinness
2/3 cup coarse sea salt, plus more for seasoning
3 tablespoons sugar
1 dried Thai chile, seeded
1 bunch fresh dill sprigs
10 crowns of dill, plus more for garnish
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Rinse crayfish under cold water. Discard any that don't move. Bring water, stout, salt, sugar, and chile to a boil in a large pot. Add dill sprigs and crowns and crayfish. Cover pot, and return to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Fill the sink halfway with cold water. Place pot in sink, and uncover. Dampen a large piece of crumpled parchment with cold water, and place it on surface of broth. After 20 minutes, replace water in sink with cold water and ice. Repeat every 30 minutes until crayfish and broth cool, about 2 hours.
  • Mix mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Season with salt.
  • Drain crayfish, arrange on a large platter, and garnish with crowns of dill. Serve with lemon wedges and mayonnaise mixture. To eat crayfish, pinch the head and twist the tail to separate. Carefully remove meat from tail by pinching from the bottom and breaking through the rings on the shell. (The head carries flavorful juices. Either suck the head, or discard.)

CRAWFISH BOIL



Crawfish Boil image

Crawfish boils are a messy, fun, hands-on, social experience and not as intimidating as one would think. Add as little or as much heat as you like-these little guys get more flavorful the longer they sit. Bring the spicy bold flavors of this Louisiana shellfish to your next backyard gathering. Don't forget the paper towels!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 pounds live crawfish (18/22 pp size)
2 cups kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds crab and crawfish boil seasoning, such as Zatarain's
1 1/2 pounds smoked sausage, such as andouille or kielbasa, sliced into 2-inch pieces
4 ears corn, broken into 3-inch pieces
2 large onions, peeled and quartered
3 lemons, juiced, rinds reserved
2 heads garlic, cut in half crosswise
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 bunch fresh thyme
4 fresh bay leaves
3 pounds small red potatoes
6 to 8 pounds ice cubes
Seafood boil seasoning, such as Old Bay, for serving

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.

ANDREAS VIESTAD'S BOILED CRAWFISH WITH DILL



Andreas Viestad's Boiled Crawfish With Dill image

A very subtle and simple Swedish method for crawfish (or shrimp) by Andreas Viestad. It has a very distinct almost "caramelized" aroma. I saw this prepared on Andreas's cooking show; what you don't hear from this recipe is his recommendation to keep live crawfish in water in your bathtub overnight so they can be "cleaned out", if you know what I mean. I've prepared this with shrimp as well, and amazingly, they don't turn into hockey pucks after the 1 to 2 hour sitting time (and this time is reflected in the prep).
