Scott, Louisiana · Boiled since 2011
You pick the pounds and the heat. We boil it at four, load the truck at five, and dump it on your table before it stops steaming.

01 — Build your boil
About 10 people if it's the whole meal. Half that if they're serious.
Cayenne you can taste. Most people land here and stay.
02 — What's in the pot
Two salt-water washes before anything goes near heat. Skip it and you can taste the ditch.
Cayenne, mustard seed, coriander, bay, garlic and a lot of salt. Ground here every Thursday.
Heat off, lid on, thirty minutes. This is where the seasoning actually gets in. Everyone rushes it. We don't.
Straight onto paper, still steaming. If it arrives in a cooler, somebody did it wrong.
