Louisiana Crawfish in Houston TX | Authentic Cajun Boil at Swamp Kingz
July 26, 2026
By the Swamp Kingz Kitchen Team
Missing real Louisiana crawfish without the drive east? Swamp Kingz Cajun Kitchen & Bar boils them Louisiana-style in Houston at 2310 Highway 6 South, Suite A, Houston, TX 77077. Call (281) 558-5555 or order online.
Louisiana crawfish are freshwater crustaceans harvested from the bayous and rice ponds of south Louisiana, prized for sweet tail meat and shells that soak up Cajun seasoning. We boil them the traditional way — in spiced water with corn, potatoes, and sausage.
What "Louisiana-Style" Means Here
It's the seasoning and the method: a rolling boil of cayenne, paprika, garlic, lemon, and bay, then a soak so the flavor drives into the meat, not just the shell. Curious about the roots of the cuisine? Our Cajun food beginner's guide covers the history.
Sweet, Spicy, and Sized Right
Good Louisiana crawfish are heavy and firm, not mushy. Order by the pound and set your heat from mild to extra hot. For picking a great batch, see what to look for in Houston crawfish.
