Two Step Boiled Louisiana Crawfish Food

TWO-STEP BOILED LOUISIANA CRAWFISH

Steps:

• In a large wok or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the butter, garlic, Cajun seasoning, pepper, ginger, orange, lemon, and onions. Stirring constantly, cook the ingredients until the onions begin to wilt and the citrus fruit softens, about 5 minutes.
• Add the whole boiled crawfish along with ½ cup of the cooking liquid. Stir to coat the crawfish with the sauce and heat through. Add more cooking liquid to thin out the sauce and add more spice, if needed.
• To serve, mound the crawfish on a platter or large bowl and pour over the sauce.

LOUISIANA CRAWFISH BOIL

Steps:

• Wash the crawfish with fresh water in a large plastic tub; let the water run until clear, then drain.
• Fill an 80-quart pot halfway with enough water to cover the seafood and fixin's. Add the potatoes, sausage, oranges, artichokes, garlic and celery -- things that take longer to cook. Bring to a boil, then add the crawfish boil mix and liquid crawfish boil. Continue to boil for 3 minutes.
• Add the crawfish and return to a boil; cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in the corn, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. Let the crawfish soak for 20 to 25 minutes. The longer they soak, the spicier and juicier they get.
