How to make boiled crawfish spicy?
I have a TON of already cooked/boiled crawfish that my Aunt gave me today that she cooked last night. I rewarmed it and started to eat it and there is absolutely no spice taste to it at all, just tastes like fishy crawfish. She told me that she didn't have the time to marinate them and let them soak in the spices. Is there anyway that I can recook or somehow make the crawfish have a good spicy cajun flavor to them? I'm not sure what to do but I hate to waste this many crawfish. They are whole shell and all. If anyone has any ideas please do tell I am CRAVING SPICY CRAWFISH!!!!

How do you make a crab boil?
Here in coastal NorthCarolina we eat a lot of bluecrabs,steamed live.Prepare the steamer pot by adding vinegar or beer to the water.This is supposed to make the crabs easier to pick.Spices can be added to the water but the best way is to steam the crabs,covered by a towel under the steamers lid until done.Then take a sprayer of apple cider vinegar and spray the crabs while on a platter or newspaper and coat them in spices.The spices stick to the vinegar and flavor the crabs as you pick them. They have a lot of flavor this way and the spices don’t boil away in the water.
Leftover boiled crawfish, how to refrigerate?
Refrigerate the boiled crab and shrimp and try to eat it tomorrow. It might last for two days, but the seafood will start to loose quality fairly quickly. Tomorrow, boil a large pot of water and add the shrimp and crawfish, cook for about 30-40 seconds. You just want to heat the crawfish and shrimp up. If you have sausage, potatoes and corn left also, heat those in the boiling water first or you can heat those in the microwave. I am assuming you did cook all the seafood and sausage etc.

How can you eat boiled crab in a classy way?
Haha being classy doesn't go in the same sentence as eating crab. However, if you are at a fancy restaurant and order the crab, you want to appear somewhat civilized…..When they give you a bowl with hot water and a lemon slice in it - don't drink it! This is to clean your fingers after eating the crab.Try to avoid splattering your companions when you break the crab apart or when you crack the legs.Some restaurants will pre-crack the legs for you. In this case, gently pull the shell apart and use a small fork to pull the meat out. They might give you a special fork for this.When you crack the legs, I recommend doing it top to bottom. If you try crack it on the narrow side, it won't workUse the crab meat fork to pull the meat out of the body. This is thin white shell with white meat. It is build kind of like a honeycomb. Try not to spit when you take a nice bite of missed shell with your crab meat.Pro tip: Although try steaming it next time. You lose a lot of the flavour when you boil them.
