Clean water boil is the way to go........
Been boiling crawfish the traditional way for years and years but with all the talk on here lately of the clean water boil, I figured we would give it a shot.
Heated up a big pot of water to about 165 degrees, poured it into the ice chest and added 10 lbs of season, cut up about 14-15 white onions, some garlic cloves, halved about a dozen lemons, couple sticks of butter and poured in 2 large bottles of mustard. Boiled the crawfish in clean water and poured them in the slurry. Had a second pot going for potatoes, corn, sausage, and mushrooms and dumped them in a second ice chest with a similar slurry as the first.
Once everything was done boiling we let it all soak in the ice chests for 20-30 minutes or so before we started eating. Was by far the best crawfish we ever ate.
I was very skeptical about the mustard and the whole process and was hoping I wasnt wasting two sacks of crawfish, but I wont do it any other way from now on. Thanks to all of yall that have discussed this method in previous threads.
