Have your friend get you some File powder. If you like Gumbo File takes it to a whole different level.
I made the mistake of opening one of the pickle jars at work and it was gone in a flash. Took the other 5 jars home. Gonna get the sauce on some ribs tomorrow. Glad to know my Shreveport connection works.
I guess we take the beans for granted. If you get white beans, try this:
Get 1.5 lb of head-on shrimp. Peel, reserving shells.
Use shells to make a shrimp stock.
Cook beans in shrimp stock with bay leaves, onions, and bell pepper.
Add one cap of liquid crab boil.
When beans are tender, add peeled shrimp and just cook them through.
Season with Tony Cachere's and serve over LA jasmine rice.
Shrimp and White Beans is an old New Orleans dish that the Catholics could eat during lent.I wish I would have thought of dis!
I dare you to try chaudin.
Boy howdy you tell me where I can get some shipped and I personally would eat it! Cajun haggis sounds awesome.
Next time I'm in Shreveport I will buy some. We gotta get you off the bottom shelf next to the nacho cheese:laugh:
