Instant Pot® Low Country Boil image

No more waiting for that large stockpot of water to boil just to drop everything in and wait for it to start boiling again. By utilizing your multi-functional pressure cooker, you not only eliminate that but you also don't have to stand guard over it while it is cooking to make sure it doesn't boil over. Serve with seasoned butter and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 pounds live crawfish (18/22 pp size)
2 cups kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds crab and crawfish boil seasoning, such as Zatarain's
1 1/2 pounds smoked sausage, such as andouille or kielbasa, sliced into 2-inch pieces
4 ears corn, broken into 3-inch pieces
2 large onions, peeled and quartered
3 lemons, juiced, rinds reserved
2 heads garlic, cut in half crosswise
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 bunch fresh thyme
4 fresh bay leaves
3 pounds small red potatoes
6 to 8 pounds ice cubes
Seafood boil seasoning, such as Old Bay, for serving

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.

2 heads garlic, unpeeled
5 bay leaves
2 (3 ounce) packages dry crab boil
1 tablespoon liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
3 large oranges, halved
3 large lemons, halved
2 large whole artichokes
15 red potatoes, washed

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.
