good Asian-style Cajun seafood boil. Personally I can live without crawfish. So much hype, so much work, so little meat. The shrimp was good more

one shrimp basket, one catfish basket, one Dungeoness crab and one bag of crawfish in "The Whole She-Bang" seasoning for three people. I had all the seafood for this year. Very tasty!!! Eat with bare hands, be prepared to get messy. more
