My husband, worked in Louisiana in Pointe Aux Chenes during the oil spill. I loved visiting there, the people were so friendly and welcomed us into their homes. I will be posting a few of the recipes they gave us. Love that Cajun!!

    Note: Medium shrimp works great in this but any will do. We like onions...so I add a small chopped onion in the sauté pan. For creole seasoning, I use Tony Chacheres or Slap ya Mama.
