The right crawfish pot is a great beginning to a fabulous boiled crawfish recipe.   No one makes boiled crawfish better than cousin Benny.  It is an all day affair getting ready for the host of family and friends who will descend upon his house.

In the morning, he buys the crawfish.  By noon he has prepared all of his seasonings.  By 5 when we arrive, he is just starting to put the crawfish in the very large crawfish pot. It is a massive outdoor cooker.  By 6, he is enjoying a cold beer, enjoying the company of family and friends, and sucking the head of a well seasoned crawfish!
