    Southern Louisiana native here. You did quite well. I'm actually surprised. Most people not from here (assuming you are not) would get this totally wrong. There's a lot of things we look for when cooking this stuff and you pretty much hit all the key points. I'll list them below:
    1. RINSE THE CRAWFISH AT LEAST TWICE! Thank you for rinsing the crawfish more than once!! Even people here get that wrong. We do often add salt to the rinse water tho, makes them puke and shit, but that's not as big of a deal as rinsing the dirt off of them. Gritty crawfish belongs in the garbage.
    2. The citrus fruits are a huge addition! I use oranges, but lemons are good too.
    3. He's right about mushy corn - do not want
    4. He's right about the potatoes.
    Good job, Josh! I'm impressed. I'll have to try your special butter.

    Tip: You need to let the crawfish soak after cooking to really give them an opportunity to suck in the seasoning. The best way to do this is once they're done cooking to add ice to the boil. Not so much ice that the water is cold, but just enough to lower the temperature so that it won't keep cooking the crawfish.
    Generally what we do is the day before the boil we take about 4-5 of those party size ice cream pails and fill them with water to freeze and just dump those in once it's done cooking. However, we also cook at much larger quantities so use your judgment
