I’ve been boiling crawfish for over 25 years. Cooking crawfish is how I got my start in outdoor cooking. When I was first invited to a crawfish boil, I was immediately drawn to the communal nature of friends and family gathered around a table creating memories around enjoying food together in their backyard.
I was recently eating BBQ with the Dallas Cowboy’s Quarterback Dak Prescott who is from Louisiana. We got to talking about a relatively new cooking technique called the two pot method. He suggested we get together with his Father and make a cooking video using this method.
Traditionally crawfish are boiled in one pot. Once the crawfish boil and are cooked, the challenge with the one pot method is to keep from overcooking them. Some people spray that pot with a hose to cool it off and others dump ice into the pot which dilutes the seasoning.
In 2022, Brad Orrison of The Shed in Ocean Springs, MS taught me the two pot method. Crawfish are boiled in clean water, which purges them, and are then dumped in a 140 degree soak pot where they take on flavor and heat (if you desire) without over cooking the crawfish. We realize not everyone has two pots, but if you have the tools, you will love the results from this method. One thing is for sure. This is our favorite cooking show video that we have ever done!

That's definitely money dude!!!
Great Video!
Matt, here's some food for thought. How about coming out with your own line of seafood boil dry seasoning? 🤔
Dak better play great this year 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
this is awesome
Matt is a boss. Been watching a couple years. Picked up some Gospel seasoning at my local Hyvee today, cannot wait to try it once it stops raining here in MN.
Well there is no "on the fence" about the Dallas Cowboys.. You either love or hate them! I hate them.. Still.. Very cool video and if I got the chance to do a video with the QB from my team.. It would be one of the coolest moments of my life.
Thank you for all you do. I love crawfish, but never would attempt to actually cook.. Guys like you, Malcom Reed, Stale cracker, Heath Riles, and many others… Make it possible
That’s my quarter back !! 😎
Great video
thats my quarterback!
Damn, I’m jealous!…. Happy Father’s Day everybody!!! 🙂
If I was just doing shrimp and crab legs, could I do the same two pot method?
Was this at daks houses or somewhere else
Not a Cowboys fan but still a pretty cool video 🔥🔥🔥
Super Cool video content! 🔥This video further confirms how bad the crawfish 🦞 season was in Louisiana after the record hot Summer we had last year! No one wanted to pay the high prices for live crawfish! 🦞
How heavy is one of those bags, I know they sell by the pound and curious to know. Never done a boil but a bunch of friends want to do one next year and trying to figure out how many pounds. One of those bags looks perfect.
did you get that opening dap to pop like that on the first try? crazy
Here we go
camo shorts, tucked polo and a phone holster…. Dad Prescott status confirmed
I'm a big fan of Dak…
Looks amazing and the video was authentic and entertaining!
That was really cool. I hate the Cowboys but have always liked Dak.
😋👍👏👏🔥🔥🌶🍻🍻🍻
I'm a Seahawks Fan and I loves me some Dak! Good job Matt! Great video!
Go Cowboys !!
Finally a video I can watch Dak in and not cuss.
What a feast! One question though- what does it mean to “ purge “ crawfish?
Is that a button break-away Meat Church shirt?! 🤯👍👍
Wife goes hard on the sausage
That is an awesome cook. Now go do one for a real QB.
Best video ever!!! Sooooo cool! Great job, Sir…. as always. Cheers! And, Happy Fathers Day, Matt.
