Frogmore Stew

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.
