Spice up your boil

Since many families take advantage of the upcoming holiday weekend to go all-out on the crawfish boil, why not go a little above and beyond the usual ingredients of corn on the cob, potatoes and mudbugs? Emeril Lagasse recommends adding artichokes and a few links of andouille for some extra “pop” in the boil. Others recommend tossing in a few chicken wings, or cauliflower and broccoli heads. And if you’re looking for a good place to grab your crustaceans precooked, last year’s Best of 225 winner Tony’s Seafood Market & Deli serves up a great sack of boiled crawfish.
