👨‍🍳 Instructions

Fill a very large pot about 1/3 full with water.

Add the garlic, bay leaves, dry and liquid crab boil seasonings, salt, pepper, oranges, lemons, artichokes, and potatoes.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.

Stir in the corn, onions, mushrooms, and green beans; cook 15 minutes more.

Stir in the sausage; cook 5 minutes more.

Add the crawfish, return mixture to boil, then simmer until the crawfish shells turn bright red and the tails pull out easily, about 5 minutes.

Test for doneness by peeling a crawfish.

Be sure not to overcook, or crawfish will become tough.

Serve crawfish hot, Louisiana-style, spread over a picnic table covered with newspapers.
