I'm wanting to host a crawfish boil at my house within the next month or so. Approximately 30 people probably. How many pounds of crawfish do y'all suggest?

If they're from GA, no more than 5 lbs per person. If from LA, maybe 10.
When I boil crawfish here, I usually add some boneless/skinless chicken breasts as well. That way, people who don't want to eat crawfish still get in on all the spices.
I usually include andouille sausage, full garlic cloves (great mashed on a saltine with butter), the afore mentioned chicken breasts, corn potatoes, and crawfish. Everything else is boiled first and set aside in an ice chest. The the crawfish are boiled for about 8 minutes, then left to soak for another 10 -15 minutes.

I'm thinkin this needs testing my the local mods. When exactly is this event going to be?

Thanks for the replies. 5 lbs per person? Wow. I'm gonna be seriously stimulating the economy. Chadair, when you tell folks you're having a crawfish boil, they tend to start to like you. Red, the days you mentioned are weekdays. There's a great chance it may go down the weekend before or after. You are more than welcome bud.

Red is one of the charter members. ;D (And no Red, you cannot recycle my insult, get your own)
