Saw a few posts about boils tonight and wanted to chime in with a recent boil I did...I'm from New Orleans where we boil tons and tons of crawfish, shrimp and crabs every year. When I do my boils I put the potatoes in right after I add and stir in all the seasonings. Potatoes take the longest to cook. Then once the water is at a rolling boil add the seafood and other things like sausage and mushrooms. Depending on what you're cooking determines the boil time. Crawfish go for 5-7 minutes. Shrimp 3-4 minutes. Crabs 7-10 minutes. Cut the fire and stop the boil. Then add the frozen veggies(corn) to help cool the water and stop the cooking process. We sometimes add frozen bottles of water to cool the water down quicker. As the water cools, the seafood soaks up the seasoning and starts to sink. As soon as you stop the fire, start a timer for soak time. Depending on how spicy you want your seafood to be the soak times can vary from 10 to 20 or even 25 minutes if you like them really hot. Then remove everything, spread on a table and dig in!Here's a few pics from one of my recent boils for Mothers Day for my Family. 125lbs of crawfish sacrificed their lives that day in honor of our loving Mothers:Everything in! http://ift.tt/2skP3fA the soak (yes, we experiment with everything in boils. Those are pineapples and they were delicious! Sweet and spicy!) http://ift.tt/2tDynDD's how they start looking once they start soaking in all the spices. They sink. All but the mushrooms should sink. http://ift.tt/2sl8XXA you serve it up for all to enjoy! http://ift.tt/2tDONMt will add that I forgot the sausage in the fridge and it didn't make it into this boil but they didn't go to waste. Froze it then thawed and grilled for Father's day a month later! via /r/food http://ift.tt/2skLmX1
