This recipe I use for crayfish and shrimp.
6 cups water or enough water to cover 2 or 3 lbs. crayfish or shrimp. Adjust ingredients if using a lot more water for a bigger batch.
1/2 cup of celery tops or diced celery
3 or 4 tablespoons of mixed pickling spices
3 or 4 tablespoons white vinegar
3 or 4 tablespoons of salt
2 cups sliced onion, (optional)
2 to 4 bay leaves.
Add crayfish and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or so. Excellent for shrimp too.
