Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 lbs live crayfish
1 gallon water
4 cups stout beer, such as Guiness
2/3 cup coarse sea salt, plus more for seasoning
3 tablespoons sugar
1 dried Thai chile
1 bunch fresh dill sprig
1 cup dill, crowns (10)
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
lemon wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Rinse crayfish under cold water. Discard any that don't move. Bring water, stout, salt, sugar and chili to a boil in a large pot. Add dill sprigs and crowns, and crayfish. Cover pot, and return to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes. Fill the sink halfway with cold warer. Place pot in sink, and uncover. Dampen a large piece of crumpled parchment with cold water and place it on surface of broth. After 20 minutes, replace water in sink with cold water and ice. Repeat every 30 minutes until crayfish and broth are cool, about 2 hours.
  • Mix mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lemon zest, and juice in a small bowl. Season with salt. Drain crayfish, arrange on a large platter, and garnish with full crowns of dill. Serve with lemon wedges and mayonnaise mixture.
  • To eat crayfish, pinch the head and twist the tail to separate. Carefully remove meat from tail by pinching from bottom and breaking through the rings on the shell. The head carries the flavorful juices. Either suck the head or discard.

SWEDISH CRAYFISH BOIL



Swedish Crayfish Boil image

Kraftskiva, a Swedish harvest celebration, is centered around a heaping platter of crayfish, which have been boiled with fresh dill. Crayfish need little more than a dollop of lemony mayonnaise to accentuate their delicate flavor.

ANDREAS VIESTAD'S BOILED CRAWFISH WITH DILL



Andreas Viestad's Boiled Crawfish With Dill image

A very subtle and simple Swedish method for crawfish (or shrimp) by Andreas Viestad. It has a very distinct almost "caramelized" aroma. I saw this prepared on Andreas's cooking show; what you don't hear from this recipe is his recommendation to keep live crawfish in water in your bathtub overnight so they can be "cleaned out", if you know what I mean. I've prepared this with shrimp as well, and amazingly, they don't turn into hockey pucks after the 1 to 2 hour sitting time (and this time is reflected in the prep).

  • First, before we start explaining how to boil crayfish, it is very important that you consider the following important tip. When cooking seafood, whatever it may be, the water should be salty.
  • Another important thing to note is that there is a marked difference between cooking with fresh or frozen crayfish because it will have a bearing on the temperature of the water.
  • Once you have the salted water ready in the casserole dish or pan, add a bay leaf for a touch of extra flavor and, after that, add the crayfish and wait for them to cook through.
