I'm doing a crawfish boil next weekend, and, for the first time, I read the directions on the back of Zatarain's liquid boil. for 5lbs of crawfish, it calls for 1tbs of liquid boil?!?! WTF?!? I've never really measured in the past, just eyeballed it, but for two sacks of crawfish (60 lbs, used to be 80lbs ) I go through a 1 gallon jug of liquid and a 1 gallon jug of granular seasoning. Is this a misprint on the label? Am I crazy? What gives?

I use their liquid concentrate for my shrimp. I probably use 2 tablespoons or more in 3/4-gallon water for just one pound of shrimp. Always taste great. No complaints.

I’m cooking some tonight, this is Captin Dave’s…



I got 1 sack (30lbs), and I will use it all.

Personally I believe I have my recipe down to a T but everyone's taste buds are different. Here is what I use for one sack. If you're boiling two sacks, use another bag of seasoning after the first sack is finished.

- 5 oranges
- 5 lemons
- 3 onions
- 2 bags of red potatoes
- half a 4.5lb bag of Louisiana crawfish boil
- half a 4.5 bag of Louisiana fire crawfish boil
- 8oz of the Louisiana concentrate
- frozen corn

Throw in seasonings, concentrate, oranges, lemons and onions while bringing to a boil. Once at a boil throw the potatoes in there for 9 minutes. Once al-dente, dump the washed crawfish in there. Bring back to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. After the two minutes are up, throw the frozen corn in the stop the cook and let them soak. Start tasting them around minute 15 until you get the spice you want.

I’m on par with this.
