Pre-Order Your Live Crawfish For Next Friday!!

Crawfish are now available for pre-order every week!  We are offering both field run and graded jumbo sizes now!
All pre-orders must be picked up on Friday and we strongly encourage you to plan your boils for Friday as well! 

How does this product come?
Pre-orders this year will be done only by the sack. Each sack will average about 34 pounds.

What is the price?
Price will change week by week. Every Monday on our website the prices will be posted. 

How much should I get?
Plan on ordering at least 2 to 3 pounds of crawfish per adult at your boil.  Bigger eaters like myself, may need 4 to 5 pounds.  

How do I purge them?
The golden rule with crawfish is that you must purge the little buggers to remove all the muck that comes with living down in the mud.  To do this, right before boiling, pour the sack of crawfish in a small children's pool or ice chest, cover with one box of salt, and add enough water to just cover the crawfish.  Gently stir for 3-4 minutes, drain, and then rinse the crawfish with a hose.  While purging, throw away "floaters", which are dead crawfish. You don't want these going in your boil.

How to Pre-Order:
Pre-orders must be done either on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. To place a pre-order go onto  groomerseafood.com and follow the prompts. Every pre-order must be paid for on the site to be locked in for a reserved bag. Every week we will order a little extra, but if you don't make this deadline we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fill your order.
ALL PRE-ORDERS MUST BE PICKED UP ON FRIDAY!!!

Live Product Risk:
Groomer's is not responsible for any loss of product once it leaves our doors, so be sure to inspect your bags. We will pack your crawfish with ice for travel in either a cooler you provide or in our own boxes. Should you choose to store your mudbugs, keep them in a cool, moist environment. The best place is in a cooler with ice on the bottom, newspaper/paper towels to separate and damp newspaper or paper towels on top. Be sure to keep the lid cracked so they can breathe!  



Weekly Recipe 
New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp

Barbecue shrimp is a classic New Orleans dish everyone loves.  Spiced up with Slap Ya Mama, you'll be begging for more after one bite.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds jumbo or colossal fresh shrimp, heads on
  • 7 cups cold water
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 11/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup Slap Ya Mama Cajun Hot Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup dark or amber beer
  • 2 loaves French bread, for serving
Directions:
  1. Peel shrimp and devein, leaving tails on and reserving the heads and shells. Refrigerate shrimp.
  2. In a small Dutch oven, add shrimp heads and shells, and cover with 7 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Skim any froth as it rises to the surface. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, and set aside. Reserve 1 cup shrimp stock. Remaining stock can be refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen up to 3 months.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 5 tablespoons butter over high heat. Add rosemary, pepper, Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning, shallot, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved stock, Worcestershire, Slap Ya Mama Cajun Hot Sauce, and lemon juice. Add shrimp, and cook just until pink and firm.
  4. Add beer, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Decrease heat to low, and add remaining 7 tablespoons butter. Gently stir as the butter melts into the sauce and the sauce is emulsified. Serve immediately with French bread.
