Well like with most recipes, theres more than one way to skin a cat or in this case a craw dad.  My brother in law used to put on a craw dad feed once a year.  He'd get 5lb bags. 

Get water boilin in a big pot and put all 5 lbs of fresh -- still crawlin crawdads in at once. 

There was a seasoning packet that came with his order but DO NOT use it all at once.  Your butt will be burnin for a week and your sence of taste will take even longer to come back.

Stir em gently while boilin so the ones on the bottom don't scorch.

They'll float to the top red as a lobster when near done.  Takes about 20 minutes for a big bag like that.

Good luck and have fun.
