Nothing says springtime better than a crawfish boil (photo by Kenn Stearns)

Crawfish season is from late February to mid-May. Outdoor cooking, Louisiana-style, is a popular way to boil crawfish. I prefer my crawfish purged and washed thoroughly prior to boiling. A Cajun Crawfish Boil recipe works well. Throw in a few red potatoes and corn-on-the-cob. Wash down with you favorite cold beverage, repeat.
