Zatarain's -- use the bag AND the liquid together.

sorry, I'm a newbie to this. Not sure what you mean, is it a "boil in a bag" type thing? thanks.

"boil in a bag"- you can buy the seasoning in pouches which makes it easier to control how spicy the food is. The seasoning also comes in a big gallon container and you can put however much you would like in there. I put the whole gallon and then some in there for 1 sack of crawfish along with 3/4 of a bottle of crab boil amongst over things The real spice(heat wise) comes from crab boil. Its a very concentrated liquid. Very good stuff!

Don't worry brother you are in for a treat

Anyone else have good reccomendations and/or links for where to purchase online. And or any good recipes for crab/shrimp boil techniques or recipes

Thanks.

I like the Cajun spice available at penzeys.com. They have some B&M stores as well.

You know what I think the South Louisiana BOTL's should do....

Put together a picture editorial on how to properly boil seafood

That means we'd have to do a live test run,and take the pics at different stages of the process, maybe a stick before they are ready and after the feast.

Any thoughts????

I have a one pot/boiler set-up, I had a sweet set up a couple years ago, but I think one of the mover's have it now. I have been meaning to get another. The next few weekends are not good for me, but after that, I wouldn't have an issue having it at my house it we could get it together.
