Well, missed the Texas Crawfish Festival in Old Town Spring...again. The plan was to go Saturday but the rain ruined it all! So I had my own crawfish boil with my folks. It was sort of planned yet last minute. My brother had asked the previous week, but I forgot about it. First thing was first, call the stores to see if they had crawfish.
I like my crawfish with tons of flavor so I sauteed some onion, garlic and ginger for a while and then tossed in the fruit uses and the citrus fruit. Louisiana's Crawfish Boil seasoning is great, but we wanted more heat...in went the Sriracha.
We had grabbed a sack of crawfish, about 35 Pounds, and just had unlimited crawfish. Of course I threw in some mussels and sausage into the boil.
The crawfish was just full of flavor and then you take a bite of the corn! I like heat, but corn just absorbs everything!!! Corn is like Pringles...once you pop it, you can't stop it. Oh yeah...the mushrooms were just a huge sponge full of spicy deliciousness!

The broth just turned all red!

The Final Product!
It was well worth it. As much as a I love crawfish, this may be my last time this season to eat crawfish. Throwing in the towel!
