Steps:
- Place the crawfish in a large cooler, cover with cold water and add 1 cup of the salt. Allow the crawfish to purge in the salted water for 5 to 10 minutes. (This Southern tradition is said to remove mud and impurities before cooking.) Strain the crawfish and set aside.
- Fill a 42-quart stockpot fitted with a boil basket halfway with water. Add the crab and crawfish boil seasoning and remaining cup kosher salt. Then add the sausage, corn, onions, lemon juice and rinds, garlic, butter, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully add the crawfish to the stockpot and cook until they're bright red, about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and add the ice to the stockpot to halt the cooking. Allow the crawfish and other ingredients to sit in the iced water for 25 to 30 minutes (the longer the crawfish sit, the more flavorful they become).
- Pull the crawfish, sausage and vegetables from the water using the boil basket. Serve over newspaper spread out on a table and sprinkle with seafood boil seasoning.

Steps:
- Fill a very large pot about 1/3 full with water. Add the garlic, bay leaves, dry and liquid crab boil seasonings, salt, pepper, oranges, lemons, artichokes, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the corn, onions, mushrooms, and green beans; cook 15 minutes more. Stir in the sausage; cook 5 minutes more. Add the crawfish, return mixture to boil, then simmer until the crawfish shells turn bright red and the tails pull out easily, about 5 minutes. Test for doneness by peeling a crawfish. Be sure not to overcook, or crawfish will become tough.
- Drain well. Serve crawfish hot, Louisiana-style, spread over a picnic table covered with newspapers.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until well browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cut into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
- Place water, crab boil, lemon juice, cayenne and salt in a very large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the garlic, onions and potatoes, return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Toss in the crawfish and the corn. Bring the liquid back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the sausage. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain. To serve, cover a table with newspapers and dump the mixture out onto it or pile it in a large bowl and let guests help themselves.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, live crawfish. The fresher the crawfish, the better they will taste. Avoid crawfish that are dead or inactive.
- Purge the crawfish before cooking. This will help to remove any mud or debris from the crawfish.
- Use a large pot for cooking the crawfish. You want to make sure that the crawfish have enough room to move around and cook evenly.
- Season the water with a variety of spices and vegetables. This will help to give the crawfish a delicious flavor.
- Bring the water to a boil, then add the crawfish. Cook the crawfish for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the crawfish with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include melted butter, garlic butter, or lemon butter.
