Ukrainian Food Blogger Misha Katsurin Reveals "Secret" Crawfish Recipe with a Cultural Twist

Outdoor Culinary Delight: Misha Katsurin Shares His Secret Crawfish Recipe Kyiv, Ukraine – Renowned Ukrainian food blogger Misha Katsurin recently captivated his audience with an outdoor cooking demonstration, revealing his "top recipe" for boiled crawfish. Set against a scenic backdrop, Katsurin guided viewers through the preparation of a rich and flavorful crawfish boil, emphasizing a unique approach to this popular dish. The chef began by preparing a robust broth, incorporating a variety of spices, fresh herbs, lemons, and corn. A key tip shared by Katsurin, recalling a childhood saying from Berdyansk, was to ensure the water for boiling the crawfish is "as salty as seawater." After the live crawfish were added and cooked, Katsurin introduced what he described as the "main secret ingredient": a generous amount of butter, specifically 200 grams per kilogram of crawfish, to be added at the end for an enhanced taste. The video concluded with Katsurin savoring the freshly cooked crawfish and corn, accompanied by a cold beer. In a lighthearted moment, he suggested that after such a rich meal, "professional support" might be needed, humorously presenting a packet of "Pangest" for digestion. While primarily a culinary guide, the video also included a brief, poignant cultural reference, as Katsurin recited a line from Taras Shevchenko, "Love, dark-browed ones, but not with Muscovites." This addition, a quote from a revered Ukrainian poet, resonated with the current socio-political climate.
