Cover the pot and bring back up to a boil, about 5 minutes. Taste the stock for seasoning and adjust if needed. Add the crawfish, cover and turn off the flame. Allow the mixture to steep for 5 to 30 minutes. To assemble, place brown paper bags on the counter, lift the basket out of the stock and drain. Dump the boil directly on the counter. Serve with plenty of melted butter, beer, and paper towels.
