½ gallon (2 liters) water
2 tbsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp dried dill weed
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp onion powder
3 tbsp salt
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp black pepper
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Lemon zest
1 pound (450 g) purged live craw/crayfish
Bring water to a boil in a stockpot or your tallest pot. Stir in seasonings.
Add crawfish, making sure to leave any dead ones behind. Cook for 7 minutes.

Turn off the heat and leave on the burner for 8 minutes. This allows the crawfish to soak in and absorb the flavorful broth without overcooking.
