Directions

  1. Fill a very large pot about 1/3 full with water. Add the garlic, bay leaves, dry and liquid crab boil seasonings, salt, pepper, oranges, lemons, artichokes, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.

  2. Stir in the corn, onions, mushrooms, and green beans, cook 15 minutes more. Stir in the sausage, cook 5 minutes more. Add the crawfish, return mixture to boil, then simmer until the crawfish shells turn bright red and the tails pull out easily, about 5 minutes. Test for doneness by peeling a crawfish. Be sure not to overcook, or crawfish will become tough.

  3. Drain well. Serve crawfish hot, Louisiana-style, spread over a picnic table covered with newspapers.
