Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras. What’s cookin?

[BBQLab]

So what ideas do people have for MardiGras? I need some New Orleans feedback. In the North East so live crawfish are hard to come by and the frozen ones from restaurant depo are cooked and seasoned already. Who Dat?
Do I make hurricanes?

Shrimp and Grits with fried shrimp heads

A lesson for youngsters. At our premarital counseling with the Methodist Minister all those years ago My Bride failed to divulge that she doesn't like grits. Important stuff like that needs to be discussed in a meaningful way before rings are swapped.

Don't forget the Bananas Foster. Traditional New Orleans stuff

It's Fat Tuesday so I made jambalaya. It was Zatarain's box mix with sausage and shrimp. Grilled the sausage last night while cooking pork chops and added two bay leaves and chopped a couple of green onions and a healthy shake of Tony C's. Add some Crystal's hot sauce and it was pretty decent.

Couldn't justify buying a King Cake for just the two of us so noticed that the Samoas box has the Mardi Gras colors. Took a plastic baby out of my collection of past King Cake babies and here's my version.

Laissez le bon temps rouler y'all!
