Ingredients
ingredients
- two or three crawdads
- lots of spices
tools needed
- a knife
- a pot of water
Kill the Crawdad
since we aren't boiling the crawdads whole we need to kill the crawdads. just a swift chop of the head should do it but it still will move a bit.
Cut Off Its Tail and Claws
cut off the back of the crawdad or its "tail" then cut off its claws
Take Off Its Exoskeleton
Boil Water and Cook Meat
get a pot of water and get it boiling (it's not boiling in the picture) then put the meat in
Leave it in for 4-5 minutes
Spices!
get a whole bunch of spices and put it in the water, I used garlic powder, lots of salt, chile powder and chives (chives not recommended)
Presentation!
get a plate a piece and put the boiled meat on it and add a piece of wild spearmint. (also smear some bbq suace on the plate)
