Make sure that you serve this with plenty of crusty French bread to soak up the garlic and butter sauce! This is from the R.S.V.P. Letters to the Editor section from a December 1983 issue of Bon Apetit....
Here's an unusual, but delicious and easy, method of cooking shrimp. I would suggest 1lb. per person. You can get the shrimp from www.BigEasySeafood.com.
This is a great appetizer or side dish to go with any seafood/cajun feast. You can adjust the spice by decreasing the amount of cajun seasoning or you can substitute chili powder.
If you've never eaten authentic creole, you truly don't know what you're missing. I discovered this Louisiana favorite while residing there, and it was love at first bite. This dish has a very unique taste...
Sirloin steak is very lean beef, but there is fat around the top edge of each steak and marbled throughout the meat itself. you can trim off the fat around the edge, but the marvled fat gives the meat...
Most people tell me this is pretty darn close to Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. I got this recipe from a great lady who put it on EVERYTHING!! I think this might be how she lived to be 103!!!
Be adverturous and try it. The Cajun spice mix adds a distinctive warm, smoky flavor to fish. Note: The original recipe called for red snapper, which is divine, btw, but not always accessable and even...
I found this recipe on a Canadian Turkey site several years ago. It is listed for a single dish, but I usually triple the recipe and keep it tightly sealed in my spice cupboard. I use it mixed in with...
I first tried this at a New Year's Eve party one year and immediately had to ask for the recipe. I couldn't believe how simple it was. This is not for wimpy taste buds - I warn you now that this will be...
A recipe from Pappadeaux's restaurants. This is no ordinary dip (see Miller's explanation on dip)It's Cajun Oysters Rockefeller married with cheesy seafood spinach dip, served on garlic toasts.
The secret is to use the freshest oyster you can find. These are pan fried, not sauted. Use plenty of oil and keep it hot to keep them crispy on the outside and plump and juicy on the inside. Using a cast...
This was so simple and tasty with just the right amount of heat. I served it with a pre-packaged Cajun style rice but it would be great with white rice also.
This is almost the only way I eat salmon. Note: I find this dish spicier when baked than when grilled. I use a frozen wild whole salmon fillet cut into about 6 pieces; feel free to use fresh salmon or...
"This light and spicy tomato crab bisque is one of my all-time favorite emergency recipes. It's easy to shop for, requires very little effort, and only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to pull off.
Use my Baguette Rolls recipe, and then top with Emeril's Remoulade for a perfect Oyster Po Boy. This is basically Guy Fieri's excellent recipe, but with the remoulade made separately.
I received this recipe last week in an e-mail from Campbell's. We enjoyed it so much served over cornbread that I had to share the recipe. Hope you enjoy it too!
This is a great seasoning for many different dishes! I use this on homefries as well as roasted potatoes, zucchini and many other vegetables. It's great for a meat and vegetable kabob as well. Those little...
This is my Go-To salad for caters and potlucks. In the time is takes to cook the pasta, you can have the rest of the ingredients assembled. The peas go in frozen to help cool the salad immediatly. You...
I was looking for Cajun seasoning for my New Year's Day black eyed peas. This is based on Julie Sahni's recipe in "Savoring Spices and Herbs" with a few alterations. Everyone loved the peas, btw. NOTES:...
These wings are absolutely delicious! They have just the right amount of spiciness along with the balance of flavor from the blue cheese. This recipe is definitely a winner. Great for parties, Friday or...
Etouffee means "smothered." Everyone in the world has crawfish. Some parts just don't know what to do with them. In Louisiana, they're raised in rice fields. Sure, you can get them from ditches, but who...
This is one of the Zaar recipes that I adopted. I hope to make this soon as it looks like a dish my family would enjoy. I'll edit the recipe accordingly if needed. Andouille sausage is not available in...
I have a crazy Cajun neighbor here in TX and this is his recipe. Man is it ever good. You can use either shrimp or crawfish tails. I know crawfish may be hard to find in places so I posted it with shrimp!...
This is an old recipe from Uglesich's in New Orleans. I got the recipe from the T.P. years ago. Its a faster alternative to doing an étouffée in case you are short on time. Great with rice or pasta,...
This is yummy. Fire up your grill and put some corn on the cob, brushed with melted butter and sugar, and dont for get the potatoes with lots of butter, pepper, and onions. Cook em all on the grill
From TOH. Chicken pieces tossed in a zippy coating of spicy Cajun flavor. Sweet and sassy dipping sauce compliments this perfectly. Great party appetizer. Cooking time is a guess.
Not really barbequed and not low fat, but a sinfully pleasant way to savor fresh shrimp that is super easy and downsizes easily. I adapted this recipe from "I Want Dat Cajun Cookbook" by Remy, a gift from...
Though it might seem that there is a lot of pepper and hot spices in this recipe, the sugar in the rub and sauce tempers it to the point where it has just enough bite without being overwhelmed by heat....
Best if on a cast iron skillet, OUTSIDE on a high flame. Inside, use a fan to deal with the smoke or turn off your smoke alarms. This crispy crust is seared on by the hot pan. Baltimore Sun
