  1. It’s mudbug season! Leave a comment below on how you like to boil crawfish or anything different you like to cook with them.

    1. @I MAKE LIBERALS CRY 🤣 Did you miss the question that was asked TWO years ago “on how you like to boil crawfish”? I’ve answered it. By the way, did you just get out of jail an hour ago after serving a 10-year sentence or you are just naturally that slow?

    2. @Toomas Kotkas the OP said “comment below *how* you cook them” yet you decided to irrelevantly inform everyone that you’ve been cooking them in Russia. Nobody cares, nor asked “where you cook them” It appears that you can’t comprehend a preschool question. 🤡💀

    3. @I MAKE LIBERALS CRY 🤣 I’ve got three thumbs up, so I guess no one cares about what a dimwit like you thinks. GFY

    1. Besides, the simple fact you have all shown your discontent with the Word of God and Jesus literally only makes prophecy from Revelation become truer and truer. It’s statistically over 90% accurate in its predictions. The guard shoved his spear into the ribs of Christ, and He won, it was finished. The world and its leader Satan were overcome.

    2. Besides wasting 100s of gallons thinking fresh water is gonna purge a crawfish

  2. Cut up about 4 to 5 lemons and squeeze the juice and add the lemons to your water when you add your seasoning it gives it a good flavor and also add 1to 1/2 sticks of butter it helps tails come out of the shells easier…thank y’all for y’alls videos I watch and enjoy every single one!! ROLL TIDE FROM TUSCALOOSA 🐘

  3. I will be cooking this for the first time. I want to add shrimp and mussels to my boil, and I’ve never seen mushrooms in a boil before, very nice addition. Thank you for the video!

  4. My first crawfish boil was in the great state of Alabama(Foley). I love that swamp fire seasoning. BTW I grew up in Michigan so we never did anything like a seafood boil growing up.

  5. Great video man, thanks! TX here, I’ve cooked for small fam gatherings and watched a few. We are big on adding crushed or whole garlic cloves, cut lemons, and sticks of butter or Louisiana Crawfish Boil OIL. Seems to help us from shells sticking to meat. Thanks again, go Longhorns!!

  6. This was a fantastic video, appreciate you being so thorough. Bout to get our crawfish on!

    1. Are they good. I can’t even find one to buy in Safeway. I asked but they lady butcher said we don’t get that in Ca baby. You have to go east and fish them yourself with the local tribes there in the south. Sux fer me

    2. 1 year after the original comment it’s still quarantine and now I’m craving it! 🤣

  7. I have used this exact recipe numerous times after watching your video….perfect every time!

  8. 2 years and 3 months after this gets posted and I’m doing my own mud bug boil today! Thanks for the recipe, going to give it a try and let you know!

  9. I’m smiling from ear to ear, that’s some good cooking and set up to eating!

  10. I’m from Pennsylvania so I’ve never had crawfish like this but I love seafood and I now have another goal in life and that is to make this recipe. My mouth is literally watering lol. Thanks for sharing.

  11. Perfect ! Exactly the way to cook those delicious crawfish!! Great job!!

  12. Great job! I’m trying this TODAY! Your baby is beautiful and your wife looks like such a peaceful and pleasant person. Thanks again for the recipe!!!!! I’m from New Orleans- I like to throw in garlic cloves, celery, lemons and oranges!!! Mushrooms would be a first for me- it’s getting added this round.

  13. Looks absolutely fantastic! Hope to be able to try some crawfish once covid restrictions lift. Greetings from the tiny islands of Palau!

  14. That looks wonderful and the recipe is close to my favorite as well. Great job. One thing, I my experience it is sacrilege to toss the heads. That’s the best part, especially if you have been so thorough with your purge!

  15. You did such a great job on step by step instructions I’ve always been kinda intimidated on doing a crawfish boil but your video made it possible and I have to say them were the best dag gone mud bugs I’ve ever ate. I first tried them as a boy when my uncle was in the coast gaurd down in mobile Alabama and 30 years later I’m making my own thanks for sharing your recipe

  16. Thank you so much!! I always do a boil with my dad and this year is my first year doing it alone this really helped me and I TRUST YOU brother haha. thank you
