When boiling crawfish, shrimp or crabs the only extra ingredients to enhance the flavor of your seafood would be celery, onions, garlic, lemons and oranges. These are friendly ingredients that do not rob the flavor of your boil or have any bearing on the taste of your Authentic Louisiana Seafood.

Conversely if you add potatoes, corn, wieners, sausage or mushrooms these will directly effect your seafood seasoning. We call them season robbers!! Some folks think you should boil them in separate pot which is not a badidea. Others boil them in the seasoned water first. Whether you boil them in the same pot or not always drop the potatoes & onions first & when they are almost done re-season your water with @ least 3/4s more seasoning then add all your other stuff plus your crawfish & boil as usual. This will ensure your crawfish get the right dose of spices& your potatoes, onions etc will get seasoned perfectly.
