      this is a fairly common way to do it in the southern US for crawfish boils, shrimp boils, etc

      usually there’s a ton of spices added as well, but this is spotlessly plain from the pics, probably the saddest looking ‘boil spread’ I’ve ever seen

        You’re also supposed to dump the food out on a table outside so that when it comes time to clean everything up you just pull up the trashbags you used as a table liner into a ball and dump it in the nearest trashcan/dumpster. Dumping all this inside is just disgusting; even without actually spicing anything, that break room is going to smell like seafood for the next week at minimum.

      I think it looks really fun. Assuming the food is actually cooked well

      It’s not really an “American” thing, it’s more regional to coastal south/northeast, but this is common with these sorts of events. I have seen similar spreads at hog roasts and stuff like that.

      obvious CW

    Hell yes. This is how you do it. Change out the water every five minutes to get rid of all the extra junk

    I’ve had a crawfish boil, it aint supposed to look like that

    Dumping it on the table, fine, padding with a lot of veggies and store bought shrimp, fine. But the undercooked veggies, overcooked shrimp and utter lack of seasoning or other seafood is a crime. I don’t see any garlic or anything either, just some loose onion layers

      I don’t even see any crawfish there

      I see one thing that charitably might be a crawfish, but everything else looks like shit

        Yeah this is called a Lowcountry boil, as someone else pointed out.

        Still grossly undercooked/unseasoned, but it is supposed to be shrimp and sausage.
