24 ounce bag raw in-shell peanuts (they must be raw)
3 ounce crawfish, shrimp and crab boil seasoning (I used Zatarain’s, see notes below)
¼ cup cajun seasoning (I like Slap Ya Mama)
¼ cup red pepper flakes (optional)
1 Tablespoon Tabasco hot sauce
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
water (enough to cover the peanuts completely)

Place the contents of the 24 ounce bag raw in-shell peanuts in a colander and rinse them under water.
To your crockpot, add the rinsed peanuts, 3 ounce crawfish, shrimp and crab boil seasoning, ¼ cup cajun seasoning, ¼ cup red pepper flakes, 1 Tablespoon Tabasco hot sauce, and 1 Tablespoon garlic powder. Fill the crockpot with water (enough to cover the peanuts completely).
Cover and cook on low for 9-11 hours, until the peanuts are tender. Stir from time to time and add additional water if necessary to ensure the peanuts stay submerged.

Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
If you've never used a crab boil seasoning before, it is just seasoning. There isn't any seafood in it and there is no seafood flavoring in it. It's just a combination of spices typically used in crab boils.
