Create a flavorful crawfish boil with fresh ingredients simmered in a spicy broth for a crowd-pleasing feast.
Ingredients:
  • 2 heads garlic, unpeeled
  • 5 bay leaves
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages dry crab boil
  • 1 tablespoon liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning
  • 15 red potatoes, washed
  • 3 large oranges, halved
  • 3 large lemons, halved
  • 2 large whole artichokes
  • 2 (16 ounce) packages mushrooms, cleaned
  • 0.5 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 30 pieces baby corn
  • 2 (16 ounce) packages smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 50 live crawfish, rinsed
Instructions:
  • In a generously sized pot, fill it a third of the way with water. Mix in garlic, bay leaves, dry and liquid crab boil seasonings, salt, pepper, potatoes, oranges, lemons, and artichokes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, green beans, onions, and baby corn to the pot. Allow them to simmer for 15 minutes. Then, mix in the sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add the crawfish to the mixture and bring it back to a boil. Let it simmer until the shells of the crawfish turn bright red and the tails can be easily pulled out, approximately 5 minutes. To check if they're done, peel one crawfish. Be careful not to overcook, as it can cause the crawfish to become tough.
  • Drain the liquid and serve the hot Louisiana-style crawfish boil on a picnic table lined with newspapers.
