Directions

Fill a large pot (14-16 qt. Capacity) 1/3 full of water. Add the boil seasoning mix, Tabasco, salt, Peppercorns and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and artichokes, cover and return to a boil, cover and cook 5 minutes. Add the corn, onions, garlic and lemon, return to a boil, cover and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the crawfish, cover and bring just to a boil, then turn off the heat and let stand, still covered, for at least 5 minutes, or up to 30 if you like your food firey. Scoop out the crawfish and vegetables with a strainer or big slotted spoon or drain in the sink.

Cover your backyard picnic table or dinner table with plenty of newspaper. Dump the well-drained crawfish and vegetables right onto the newspaper or pile on big platters.
