Part of the beauty of where I live is the abundant supply of seafood. We use the Lenten season as an excuse to get together and boil up some yummy seafood. We don't really need an excuse, but anyway...
Crawfish, also known as crayfish, craw-dads, and mud bugs, are usually pretty spicy, a little salty, and in my opinion, the more lemon, the better. My compliments to the chef!!
This is my Godchild's husband and He did a fantastic job, but of course they weren't better than my husband's. It's definitely a competition around here. Hell, we have crawfish cook-offs here, you pay one price, walk around, try everyone's crawfish, and vote on the one you like the most. It's flipping awesome!!
This is how we spend our weekends leading up to the Easter holiday, and most times beyond that. If it's crawfish season, you know we're eating crawfish.
The second batch is always spicier than the first, most of us wait for it, we love the spicy stuff down here. I can not share any recipes, if I did, I'd have to kill ya, sorry. That's a sacred thing here.
I will tell you that the soaking is the most important part. They have to soak for at least 15 minutes if not longer. That's when all the spicy juice gets drawn into the mud bugs, and that's where sucking the head comes in. All that spicy deliciousness, mixed with the fat and the little brains, mmmmm!! Don't judge people, and don't knock it till you try it! Wait.... crawfish have brains right? 🤔
The spicy batch is ready. Time to chow down!! If you ever find yourself enjoying some spicy boiled crawfish, here's a little advice....don't rub your eyes, and guys, if you have to pee, make sure you wash your hands before, at least 100 times! I'm being so serious right now!! You don't want that!!
We have four seasons here in Louisiana... Mardi Gras Season, Crawfish Season, Snowball Season, and Football Season! Who Dat!!! And it's Crawfish Season Baby!!
I hope I've enticed someone out there, if not, you really don't know what you're missing out on!!
