Method
Crawfish Preparation
Rinse Crawfish
In a large bowl, fill with water and add salt. Stir to dissolve the salt. Add the live crawfish and let them soak for about 30 minutes to purge any mud or debris.
Drain Crawfish
After soaking, drain the crawfish and rinse them under cold running water to remove any remaining salt and impurities.
Cooking the Crawfish
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 5 gallons of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Add Seasonings
Once the water is boiling, add the Cajun seasoning, lemon slices, minced garlic, quartered onion, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
Add Corn and Crawfish
Add the corn pieces and prepared crawfish to the pot. Stir gently and return to a boil. Boil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the crawfish turn bright red and are cooked through.
Remove from Heat
Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
