Title: Need Help!
Post by: seemore on November 18, 2011, 05:33:30 PM
First of all, I need to thank Larry, aka Kynola, for the crawfish sausage at the Midwest Smokeout.
I cooked it on the grill, and it was AWESOME!
Now to the point:
I have 5 pounds of pork butt and found some seasonings and some shelled crawfish.
I would like to make some crawfish sausage, and I am trying to figure out the ratio to use for crawfish to add to the pork.
I talked to 10.5.  He did one pound of shrimp to two pounds of pork.  This sounds pricy.  I picked up 2 lbs of crawfish at 12 bucks a pound.
If I can do a good sausage without having to buy more crawfish, please let me know if it is doable
Otherwise I will buy more crawfish as needed.
What does everybody think?
Thanks,
seemore

I would think 2 pounds of crawfish + 3 pounds of pork would be a good ratio.

LOTS more meat in crawfish tails than in water logged shrimpies...
