The present invention discloses a marinade formula, in particular to a pot-stewed 
crayfish-
flavor marinade and an application method thereof. The pot-stewed 
crayfish-
flavor marinade comprises main materials and spices. The main materials comprise the following components in parts by 
mass: 200-400 parts of white granulated 
sugar, 100-200 parts of salt, 40-100 parts of 
monosodium glutamate, 20-100 parts of 
shrimp powder, 1-10 parts of pH value 
regulator and 1-5 parts of a 
thickening agent; and the spices comprise the following components in parts by 
mass: 2-15 parts of star anise, 2-15 parts ofdried 
tangerine peel, 2-15 parts of 
cassia bark, 2-15 parts of tsaoko 
amomum fruits, 2-15 parts of dahurian angelica roots, 2-15 parts of villous 
amomum fruits, 2-15 parts of clove, 2-15 parts of fennel 
powder, 2-15 parts of Chinese prickly ash 
powder, 2-15 parts of lesser galangal 
rhizome powder, 2-15 parts of 
nutmeg powder, 2-15 parts of raw ginger powder and 2-15 parts of licorice powder. Not only the marinade has a characteristic 
flavor, but also the manufacturing process is greatly simplified, and the working efficiency is improved. The prepared 
crayfish-flavor product is good in color, fragrance and taste, and leaves an infinite 
aftertaste. The method not only can provide a special 
delicacy, but also can prepare a crayfish taste by using different food materials.
