Pretty easy to do.
Bring water and seasoning to a boil. Add crawfish and replace the lid. Once you see steam coming out of the top time 2 minutes then shut off the fire. Let them sit for 7 minutes then dump them out.
Do your vegetables and sausage first

I wash them off by filling up a tub or ice chest shaking them up then repeating. But as far as purging I don't
Okay thanks! We found some down at the river and we're going to set some traps for them, but just never cooked them before. Thanks!
We used to skin a rabbit and place it on some netting. Lay it in the water, and 24 hours later lift the net out ... and wala!, hundreds of crawfish.

I know they have alot of crawdads in the Sacramento Valley in the irrigation canals in the agricultural areas.
We used the local creeks, but the best places were the irrigation ditches where the large pipes ran under roads and they used busted up concrete pieces for erosion control. The crawdads loved those areas.
I have only kept them in my fish tanks...great escape artists though, would find them walking in the hallway.
Be careful where you catch and eat em. Those drainages can have a bunch of pesticide/herbicide run off.
We don't go over there, just heard there are a lot over there. We have a river over here they are in. But thanks for the heads up on that!
