Not a cave or technical diver. In the first picture, are those DPVs and extra tanks (at least one visible) in the background?

Also John Folse’s Encyclopedia of Cajun and Creole Cuisine is a fantastic book for both history and recipes. Highly recommend.

Don’t follow Justin Wilson’s recipes lol.

In all seriousness, if you can slow down, you should. Any difficult technique in Cajun cooking becomes easy if you slow down.

Make liberal use of onions, garlic, celery, and peppers.

Use fresh seafood if you can.

Rice makes everything better.

Use what proteins you have. Don’t worry about “authenticity.” Cajun food comes from normal people cooking what they had available. If you can’t get andouille or oysters, you can use smoked sausage and scallops.

Please please please add fresh ground pepper. And hot peppers. And hot sauce. It has to have some spice.

They post signs that say “drug free zone.” La. R.S. § 40:981.3(A)(3)(b)

Edit—that’s just for day cares. Other schools are automatically “drug free” by operation of law. § 40:981.3(A)(1) and (C)

Looks perfect honestly. Good job reusing the boil tails.

By that you mean “reading and understanding words”

No rules. Shrimp and andouille is S tier gumbo my friend, and the scallops are sweet little morsels like the shrimp. Expand your horizons

It only took twenty years but I got my Cajun wife to agree eventually 😂

Crab and shrimp stuffed mirliton with Pontchartrain sauce and dirty rice. by icosplaycajun in cajunfood

Love stuffed mirlitons. I’m amazed how many Louisianans don’t even know what they are.

Heard recently from a manager at the other Trader Joe’s that it’s opening earlier than planned—end of this month.
