Cajun Crawfish Recipe?

If any one out there knows any awesome amazing cajun crawfish seasoning and the way to make it. We went to a restaurant in our city of Garden Grove, in the OC...Cali..called Boiling Crab, and we want to make some at home. But we've never cooked crawfish or cajun style ever. So if anyone can help out with an awesome recipe that compares to Boiling Crabs. Thanks!Cajun Crawfish Recipe?
