How to Host Your Own Crawfish Boil
January 4, 2025
Host an Authentic NOLA-Style Crawfish Boil at one of our homes!
As the weather warms in New Orleans, so does anticipation for one of our favorite seasonal traditions - crawfish boils! Crawfish season typically runs from late January through June, peaking in April and May. And our homes, with their great outdoor spaces, provide an ideal setting for hosting your own authentic NOLA-style crawfish boil this season!
What’s a Crawfish Boil?
A crawfish boil is a communal event centered around batches of crawfish boiled up with Cajun spices. The star ingredient - fresh Louisiana crawfish - are dunked live into vats of seasoned boiling water infusing them with flavor. Once boiled to perfection and bright red, the crawfish are dumped onto newspaper covered tables for everyone to dig into. Traditional must-have accompaniments for soaking up spice include boiled potatoes, andouille sausage, onions, garlic, lemons and plenty of cold beer. While some restaurants will service crawfish, a traditional crawfish boil is done in peoples homes and parks.
