 Crab boils are known in the Ville Platte areas of Louisiana as "dome lobster boils," stemming from the local term "dome lobster" based on the shape and composition of crabs and their likeness to a domed lobster.The largest of these gatherings is the "Crayon d'Orange" festival (French for 'Orange Pencil') in Evangeline Parish.Boiled seafood in southern Louisiana tends to be spicier than that found in other parts of the country.
