Thanks Jon.

This is very similar to Crawfish Boil you can get most anywhere in Louisiana. The corn turns red if you use enough pepper and paprika.

While working in Nachitoches, La. I frequented a place called Norma's crawfish hole. After several nights I had to watch the cook do his thing so I could learn more. For Crawfish Boil he used new red potatoes, crawfish (30 pounds) instead of crab and quarter 1/2 dozen large lemons. They also had a 48 Qt cooler full of a mixture of salt, paprika, crushed red pepper and other spices. Using a dog food scoop they added about 3 of these full of this spice mixture to each pot of about 7 gallons of water.

That stuff was *HOT* as hell but oh so good.
