Grasp

Hold crawfish on both sides of the tail joint, your thumbs on one side of the shell and your index fingers on the other.

Twist and Snap

With a twisting motion, snap the head away from the tail. (Optional step for diehards: Suck the juice from the crawfish head.)

Peel

Use your thumbs to peel away the shell from the widest part of the tail, pulling back from the center, just as you would peel a shrimp.

Tug

Hold the tip of the tail and gently tug out the tender meat. Enjoy! (Don’t live on the bayou? Order online at lacrawfish.com.)
 
K-jun, I'm somewhat disappointed in your last post. :p If crawfish are properly boiled, the meat should pop out of the shell with a pinch of the tail (after removing the head of course). Only rookies peel the tail. The problem is most folks over cook their crawfish - this can happen in as little as one minute of over-boiling, leading to the need to "peel" the shell off.

LOL of course you are right. That was meant for Shinka who said "That does look fine. I need to learn how to eat those clean". Who is evidently not versed in the finer points of boiled crawfish. I have lived my whole life(56 years)in Lafayette, LA. Trust me I'm no rookie.:becky:

Your spread looks like it's not your first rodeo either.
