Directions:Directions
Fill a very large pot about 1/3 full with water. Add the garlic, bay leaves, dry and liquid crab boil seasonings, salt, pepper, oranges, lemons, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to med high and cook for 20 minutes.
Stir in the corn, onions, mushrooms, and green beans; cook 15 minutes more. Stir in the sausage; cook 5 minutes more. Add the crawfish, return mixture to boil, then simmer until the crawfish shells turn bright red and the tails pull out easily, about 5 minutes. Test for doneness by peeling a crawfish. Be sure not to overcook, or crawfish will become tough.
Drain well. Serve crawfish hot, Louisiana-style, spread over a picnic table covered with newspapers.
Note: The number of cloves in a head of garlic depends on the size and variety of the garlic. However as a starting point, the typical kind of garlic carried in your local grocery store usually contains 10 to 12 cloves. When minced, 1 small clove of garlic yields about ½ teaspoon, 1clove = about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. 1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons Jared minced garlic = 1 clove |
