Boil Gone Wild: The Craziest Add-Ins for Louisiana Crawfish Feasts
Imagine this, someone's uncle is shouting, "Toss in the corn!" while the pot is sizzling and the crawfish are performing their little spicy hot tub dance. Quite typical, isn't it? Wait a minute, though, since some people in Louisiana think, "You know what this needs? A pineapple. Or perhaps a ravioli. Yes, everyone, a crawfish boil down here isn't just a dinner; it's a culinary experiment. And believe me, the outcome is as uncertain as a renegade float in a Mardi Gras parade.
What Can I Add To My Crawfish Boil?
You won't believe the crazy things people in Louisiana throw into their crawfish boils! Some daring individuals have elevated the traditional additions of potatoes, corn, onions, and garlic to a whole new level.
For example, sweet potatoes. They are no longer only for pies. They absorb the spicy goodness like a charm when people add them to the boil. Before adding the crawfish, simply boil them for ten minutes or so, and you'll have a delicious feast.
Another unexpected addition to the boil is Brussels sprouts. These little green vegetables give the mixture a distinct flavor by absorbing the spices. Simply combine them with the other vegetables to create a deliciously crispy and spicy dish.
These days, some people even include artichokes in their boils. It may sound sophisticated, but they take on the flavors of the boil well and hold up well in the pot. Just be sure to boil them until they become tender.
Additionally, pineapple chunks have been included for people who enjoy sweets. It's amazing to see the combination of sweet and hot flavors. Surprisingly, the pineapple's tropical twist complements the boil's heat.
However, ravioli might be the most surprising addition I've heard of. Yes, you heard correctly. Some courageous people drop ravioli loaded with cheese or meat into the pot. Your taste buds will be surprised by the Cajun-Italian fusion that is created when the spaghetti absorbs the spices.
So why not include something surprising the next time you're organizing a crawfish boil? Maybe you'll find a new fave!
