You will learn what ingredients Ross used plus clear instructions on how to boil, when to boil, how long to soak, and when to serve.
A special thanks to Ross and Beth for hosting our annual family Easter gathering, providing ALL the drinks and food and for cleaning up later.
Below is the menu Ross followed with one exception. I did add some additional information regarding pot size and amounts of water.
Also I'd like to thank Zatarain's for making such great products. If only there was a way to let them know.

INSTRUCTIONS
I am adding the paragraph below because all boiling pots are not the same size.
Put crawfish in the metal strainer and put all that in the cold boiling pot.
Add enough water to just cover the crawfish.
Remove strainer and crawfish.
Scratch the water line on the inside of the pot with a screw driver.
You now know the proper level of water needed to boil that sack of crawfish.
With strainer in pot with the proper amount of clean water, add onions and potatoes and boil
for 5 minutes.
Add celery, carrots and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
Remove the strainer from the pot.
ADD SPICES
Crab boil
Liquid crab boil
Cayenne pepper
Bring water to a boil.
Pour crawfish into the strainer on top of the precooked veggies.
With water at a rolling boil, add the strainer back into the pot. Be careful not to go too fast.
When the water starts to boil again and the crawfish start floating to the top, TURN OFF
THE HEAT.
Add mushrooms and Brussel sprouts.
Allow the entire batch of crawfish to soak for 45 minutes.
During this time, it's a good idea to use a paddle and agitate the crawfish as the seasoning tends to
sink to the bottom.
You can use a fan to help cool the pot or even spray cold water on the outside of the pot to aid in cooling.
After 45 minutes, raise up the basket and hold it over the pot allowing the liquids to drain back into the pot.
You can now serve the crawfish.
IF YOU WANT TO DO A SECOND BOIL USING THE SAME WATER
Bring water to a boil.
Add onions, garlic and potatoes for 5 minutes.
Now add celery and carrots for 4 minutes.
Take the strainer and veggies out.
Add 1/2 jar of dry crab boil, 1/2 bottle of liquid crab boil and only 3 1/2 ounces of cayenne pepper.
Bring water back to a boil.
Add crawfish back to the strainer, then slowly put the strainer back into the pot of boiling highly seasoned water.
Bring back to a boil and wait to see the crawfish floating.
Turn off the heat.
Add mushrooms and Brussel sprouts.
Allow to cool for 45 minutes doing the same process as the first batch.
Enjoy

cant beat a 20 year old recipe/tradition, thank you so much for sharing. will try to replicate this during the holidays in northern california :)
Yes. Try it. Let those crawfish soak for 30-45 minutes.
Ross looks like a police officer! 🚔🚔🚨🚨. Thanks for sharing your recipe Ross! I am so jealous. Wish I were there! Hi little Munroe! All hands on deck getting these crawdads cooked. LOL. I was wondering if that was mom. Where is her walker? I can't help it. It's the nurse in me! 😂😂. Brown sugar... Never knew that shuga was an option. That's what I'm talking about. LOVE the onions and garlic. .. Awww, what a cute little girl! Pineapple... Wow, never knew! What a spread! Nicely done! Thanks so much for sharing. Sandee
Very calming and informative video
Glad you enjoyed it. But that barking dog. Wow. 😁
Looks good going to try it the second boil way
Hope you enjoy
Ross awesome job!
I will pass this on to him. Thank you.
Looks amazing! I just started watching these videos and crawfish isn't in season yet so I had to get frozen crawfish and boil those,but I'm gonna try your recipe tomorrow, thanks for the video and recipe!
I’m sorry for missing your comment. I’m just seeing it now. My brother in law has been using this same recipe for many years. We all enjoy the crawfish he cooks. You can certainly use this recipe as your starting point to make yours. Try soaking a bit longer, possibly a bit more cayenne, etc etc. January is the start of crawfish season but by March the crawfish will be big. That’s when I buy.
Have a great Christmas. Thanks for your support!
It's getting close this year 2024. I don't boil crawfish anymore, my boys do all the work. I make sure they follow my recipes. Here in Texas we like em spicy, my late father is from Louisiana
Hi Chuck. I don’t boil crawfish either anymore. But when I did, I liked them hot and spicy too.
Looking great
Thanks. It was.
Trying that recipe tomorrow ❤🇺🇸
Hope you enjoy!
YYYEEESSS FOODIES!!!...👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿💜🩷🤍🩶🖤🤎💙🩵💚🧡❤️💛🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Ross is the dude I’d invite over to all my boils, probably cool as hell to have a beer with! You should invest in something called the boil boss, very useful for your next boil
Ross has a system to boil crawfish. I doubt he’ll invest in anything else. But I will agree there are some really good new things to use for a big boil. By the way, Ross is really awesome. A genuinely sweet guy. Thank you!
Aw man, I gotta try them sweet smoke crawfish! All of it looked good, he did a good job. Where y’all at, the Northshore? Anyway, good video I enjoyed it ⚜️
Yes we are
Do you have the recipe for the "Upside-Down", T-Ring cake?
I did not know crawfish had fins and scales and bunnies laid eggs… thank you guys
You learn something new every day. 😊
🥰😋😋✨
MashaAllah
Super sharing 👍
It looks so delicious and appetizing 😋😋
Well prepared, beautifully presented
A big like from your friend
First view, pin 📍📍
Stay safe and stay connected
Thank you. Stay connected.
@@TheSandersKitchen InshaAllah
can the liquid smoke and sugar be added on the first boil?
Absolutely. You sure can.
I wanna taste sooo bad!
What size pot are you using?
I’ll have to ask my brother in law.
@@TheSandersKitchen ok ty
Any word on the size of the pot?
Deliciosos!!!
I can't stand dogs that yap like that all day long ! That dog would be long gone ! But that has got to be one of the boils I have ever seen your recipe is legit.
My brother in law has used that recipe for many years. The only thing he could do to make it better is to allow the crawfish to soak about 30 minutes longer.
Those dogs were very annoying for sure.
I guess this video is afew years old, but I just found you guys today. What lovely people. It was like being right there. Pleas tell them they have a beautiful yard. That is a fun Easter dinner cant wait to give it a try, all though sometimes we have snow on Easter . Just part of the fun lol. Thankyou so much.
My brother in law has been using that same recipe for 20 years. So even though the video is old, it’s all still the same. Great crawfish.
My Girlfriend has a cousin in town for Easter. This is how I will be boiling 2 sacks of crawfish for about 20 people.
You’re gonna love it!!
@@TheSandersKitchen It was a hit!!
Never heard of anyone doing brown sugar.
He saw this at a crawfish cook off and wanted to try it. It made no difference to me. Actually I prefer traditional seasonings.
I didn't get any this Easter, I was home with a bug!!!!!
So sorry LeeAnn. Getting sick has no social calendar. In fact, I saw a plumber at a neighbor’s house on Easter Sunday. Stopped up drains happens often and at the worst times.
Well I hope you are feeling better.
