Best Swedish Style Dill Poached Crayfish Recipes
ANDREAS VIESTAD'S BOILED CRAWFISH WITH DILL
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).

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.

Steps:
- Boil whole, unpeeled potatoes in unsalted water until fork-tender. Remove and allow to sit until cool enough to touch. Peel potatoes, then chop into 1" dice.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together butter and flour to make a light roux, but do not allow to darken. Add cream, salt, and pepper and whisk steadily until incorporated and thickened into a cream sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes, turn heat to medium-low, and allow potatoes to stew just until warmed. Garnish with chopped dill and serve.

SWEDISH CRAYFISH BOIL
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.
