One mudbug boil comin' right up

And if those delicious little critters aren't your thing (you ridiculous heathen, learn to like awesome food) maybe you'd prefer a little BBQ

Or maybe you prefer something a little spicier?

    This Saturday is really looking up. Got about 20 people to feed with differing tastes. We got:

    A 12 lb rib roast
    4 lbs 12-15 shrimp
    A turkey (for frying)
    Various fruits, veggies, fancy cheeses and such

    Anyone have an awesome shrimp skewer recipe they'd like to share? It's about the only thing I'm undecided on

    people are so-
    throwing a crab in a boiling pot of water is so dumb. It's not how you do it. You have to stab it in the brain with a big ole knife, pull it out by its halves, shake off its guts, then boil it.

    ugh now I want crab so bad. I even miss crabbing and the risk in going out on a rubber boat and having sharp crabs scuttling around

    Or, you just throw them into the boiling beer and old bay awesomeness. But yes, I suppose if you wanted you could stab them in the head first.

    while there's nothing wrong with cleaning a crab before boiling, it's completely unnecessary

    You don't have to suck the head. Hell, there is a high percentage of people from Louisiana that will just laugh at you if you do.

    Enjoy them however you wish. I just rip the tail off eat that and then move on.

    You tear off the hind part and eat the meat then pinch the head and suck the juice out.

    Pinching is the key.

    I wasn't told this my first time.

    Crawfish brains....unexpected.

    sucking the head is entirely optional and a matter of personal preference
    if you don't want to, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong

    I wondered if sucking the head was just an initiation ritual or something.

    I mean its not like they were going to run out of food or anything, so why bother with the little bit of juice in the head part?

    It's not necessary, but I like it. You don't boil the body meat (which I find to be more delicious than the legs+claws) with its guts.

    All about the personal preference.

    Hell, there are folks who eat the "mustard" of the crabs. Just...don't ever eat the lungs.

    I know most people do, I was saying that if you clean it/half it first, you're not boiling the body meat with guts. Just an easy hack, tug, and rinsing them off. It looks less impressive, I guess, but I like being able to pull the halves out of the pot nice and hot and just ronch them without worrying about cleaning. Its just personal preference though, I also don't eat it with any butter

    auughh want crab nowww.
