ingredients
8 pounds rock salt
4 ounces liquid crab boil seasoning
3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
6 whole bay leaves
6 stalks celery
4 medium onions, peeled and cut in halves or quarters
3 lemons, halved
8 ounces honey
3 oranges, halved
50 pounds live crawfish
directions
Fill a 60-quart pot half full of water. Add the salt, crab boil seasoning, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, celery, onions, lemons, honey, and oranges.
Place the pot on a grill or over a campfire. Bring the water to a boil. When at a rolling boil, add the crawfish and cook for no more than 7 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and add 20-30 quarts of cold water. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes then strain the crawfish. Remove the bay leaves, celery, onions, lemons, and oranges. Serve immediately.
cook's notes
If you want to add potatoes, sausage, and/or corn, add the potatoes and corn with the initial ingredients and add the sausage at the same time as the crawfish.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Only thing I did different was to add dry crab boil seasoning to the drained crawfish at the end. We like things extra spicy!
