Add the Zatarains seasoning. Add the veggies except corn. Bring water to boil. When potatoes are done, add corn and boil for 5 minutes. Bring the water back to a roaring boil, when steam comes up from the lid, add crawfish and cook for 5 minutes. Dump contents into the ice chest. Season with Swamp Dust. Peel, eat and enjoy!
notes
Boil crab for 8 minutes vs. 5 minutes for crawfish.
