Ingredients:

• 30 pounds of fresh crawfish
• 8 onions, halved
• 8 potatoes
• 8 ears of corn
• Fresh garlic
• Fresh mushrooms
• 4 lemons, halved
• 3 cans of beer

Instructions:

1. Prep and Relax:

   • Begin by unwinding with a cold beer. 🍺
   • Since our crawfish come pre-purged, skip the purging step and simply rinse them with fresh water.

2. Fire Up the Pot:

   • Fill a large pot halfway with fresh water and place it on an outdoor propane cooker.
   • Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil.

3. Season the Water:

   • Add approximately 1 pound of Fruge’s Original Seafood Boil to the boiling water.
   • Allow the spices to infuse into the water for about a minute.
   • Feel free to enjoy another refreshing beer while you wait.

4. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Add the halved onions, potatoes, and fresh garlic to the pot.
   • Keep an eye on the potatoes; they’re done when a knife or fork easily pierces through them.
   • Once the potatoes are almost cooked, add the corn and mushrooms to the pot.

5. Steam and Soak:

   • Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the pot and place them in a clean ice chest, leaving the lid slightly open.

6. Prepare for Crawfish:

   • Increase the heat on the burner and add more spice to the boiling water (approximately 1.5 pounds).
   • Squeeze the juice of the halved lemons into the water and then add the lemons themselves.
   • When the water reaches a rolling boil, carefully add the crawfish to the basket and place it in the pot.

7. Boil and Soak the Crawfish:

   • Cover the pot with a lid and allow the crawfish to boil for 4 minutes.
   • After boiling, turn off the heat and let the crawfish soak in the flavorful broth for an additional 3 minutes.
   • To stop the boiling process, add a small amount of cold water or ice to the pot.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Spread newspapers over an old table and dump the cooked crawfish on top.
   • Sprinkle the crawfish with any leftover spice for an extra kick.
   • Add the cooked vegetables on top for those who prefer not to peel their crawfish.
   • Gather your friends, crack open some cold beers, and dig in!

Tips:

• To keep the crawfish warm for a short period, use a styrofoam ice chest.
• Avoid using plastic chests, as they may melt or warp due to the heat.
• Don’t hesitate to experiment with leftover spice by adding it to the ice chest for extra flavor.
• Allow the crawfish to steam in the chest for 10 minutes before serving.

With this recipe, you’ll be transporting your taste buds straight to the bayous of Louisiana. So gather your loved ones, roll up your sleeves, and get ready for a Cajun feast like no other! 🎉
