When I went up to my sister-in-laws for Easter, I took some time to look through some of her cookbooks. In one of her cookbooks I found this recipe:
It reminded me so much of the crawfish boil I had while down in Louisiana, so I knew that I needed to try it. Plus it gave me an excuse to open up this sucker we picked up down there:
I halved the recipe and we left out the shrimp {more so because I forgot to buy some & I'm picky about shrimp}.
We were excited in the Clegg household that night :)
And the verdict???
Absolutely, freakin', delicious!!!
But man o man. Did it kick our butts! Have you ever had something so good, yet so spicy/hot??? We felt sorry for the kids and told them to just eat whatever they could. I forgot to get a picture of my boys....a chunk of bread in one hand & an ear of corn in the other. We made it up to them though....we took them out to get ice cream :)
My husband & I are so excited that this turned out though, we've heard that a lake here in Utah is full of crawfish begging to be boiled up in this yummy stuff.
