Answer 2

Go to your local seafood market. Ask for Cajun Seasoning, and Old Bay. Mix together, with garlic. Add to pot with seafood. It's best, when you add crawfish, shrimp, oysters, and scallops..corn on the cob, potato's, etc. and put into one pot..first vegs, then once boiling add seafood (you dont want it too done) then add seasoning. It will peerrrrffeecctt! serve with rice, and lots of margarita's or corona. Remember to have lime slices, it's good to squirt on the boil.

Use Zatarans Seafood or Crab Boil  and Old Bay Seasoning, that's probably what they sprinkled on the crabs.

Adding vinegar to your boil helps the meat separate easier from the shellfish.

That's Old Bay Seasoning on the crab.  A Maryland thing.

And I have no idea what is on the crawfish.  In So. Louisiana, we don't sprinkle anything on the crawfish!  It gets boiledin seasoned water, so the spices get soaked into the meat, not just on your fingers.

Look for Zatarain's Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil, pictured kind of fuzzy in the middle photo here:   http://www.zatarains.com/content.cfm?ID=...

It comes in a box (dry ingredient) or in a bottle (liquid, orange color).  For real Cajun flavor, double the amounts of spices called for on teh Zatarain's label.  If you use the dry bags, we often poke one open, so the spices to get all over, but dont' poke them all open of your'll have a big mess.

Most the people i know usually use Old Bay Seasoning.
