  • Several pounds of new potatoes
  • Several Packages of Sausage ( Eckridge)
  • Cayenne Pepper - to taste
  • Country Crock Butter Tub ( large )

Directions
  1. Bring water to a boil, add additional water as needed, water should be kept at a boiling temp, food will lower temp, when adding food or water just wait for water to boil again
  2. All food can be boiled at same time or in batches ( I prefer batches for vegan friends or friends allergic to shellfish)
  3. BOILING FOODS - in the order
  4. New potatoes - boil hardness out of potato (Approx 20 to 25 minutes), (Serve butter on the side)
  5. Corn on the cob - boil for 3 but less than 5 minutes (Serve butter on the side)
  6. Chicken – boil until when meat starts to separate from bone. (Approx 20 to 25 minutes)
  7. Sausage - boil until meat starts to split (Approx 20 to 25 minutes)
  8. WE Save the seafood til last. Takes less time and some are allergic
  9. Shrimp - bring for 3 but less than 5 minutes
  10. Crawfish - boil for 3 but less than 5 minutes
  11. GRILL ITEMS:
  12. All food items have been cooked, this is just for additional flavor
  13. Pour Barbeque sauce into large bowl (All brands work really well)
  14. Dip food items (Chicken, Sausage) into the bowl and cover with sauce
  15. Place items on a grill on low heat to let Barbeque sauce thicken, add additional sauce as needed
  16. Cover large table with newspaper and as foods are done SLING onto the table and gather round.

I love crawfish boils. In Biloxi we used to have our annual crawfish festival.

I have an interesting story when I was in labor and on the way to the hospital stopped to eat a boil because I knew I would be eating ice chips and was craving them. LOL My cousin still tells that story.


It's nice to have a recipe remember someone by.


Oh wow - can I come over for this? It has my name written ALL over it. Thanks so much! :) Vickie


I moved to St Louis and have discovered cajun cooking (or at least their version) and I am in love. I will definitely try this recipie out!P.S. If you are having a boil.. let me know... I'm willing to travel;)
