Fill the tub with water three to five times, draining out the dirty water each time until the water runs clear.

Discard any dead crawfish you come across.

Make the boiling brew in a 15-gallon pot with a steamer basket.

For each batch, add fresh potatoes, onion, garlic, and corn to the brew.

Boil for 5 minutes and then allow to simmer for an additional 20 minutes.

For additional flavor, add any sausages you want to try to the brew or grill extra goodies.

Once cooked, pinch the body of the crawfish by the tail, twist, and peel the shell off.
