Can anyone tell me how to make the best cajun seafood?
I like to have medium frozen prawns, muscles, clams, crabs, full shrimps, and crawfish. I like to add the usual….sweet raw corns, spicy sausage, varieties of potatoes, and a lot of garlics.
In your crawfish boil add zattarans dry crab boil mix…also try adding button mushrooms, whole artichoke(add these fisrt so they will cook alot), cut two lemons and whole garlic heads, celery and onion in half and add just like that. add the sausage, corn potatoes than seafood.the garlic and onion mushrooms and artichoke add flavor and are awesome to eat! For the dipping sauce add, mayo, katsup, whistershire, lemon, horseradish. P.S. the aretichoke peel in between your teeth. The heart is the BEST part when you get to it! Aaaaayyeeee!
anybody know authentic cajun/creole recipes they would like to share?
1 part chicken, 5 parts hot sauce
a long time ago they had a cajun seasoned cooking oil……?
Does anyone know who mad it?
I thought about that but I didn’t know if it would work.
I think it was about 15 or so years ago. it was either crisco or lou ann. They were small bottles of it.
If you are deep frying something, any liquid spice would boil off, any solid would scorch in the initial heating. It is easy to make a seasoned oil for grilling or quick pan frys. Put what ever peppers, garlic, onion, herbs in vinegar for a week then whisk the vinegar with the oil.
I have lived in La for 43 years and never seen such a oil commercially.
what is cajun food like and is it good? and what things are it made from?
Cajun is awesome!!! Some people think its just hot, but that’s not true. There are some hot dishes, but mostly it is a blend of different spices.
The three basic ingredients of Cajun food are onions, green pepper and garlic. (called the holy trinity of cajun food). Most dishes start with these – you cook them till very soft and then you add everything else.
Another basic thing is called a "roux" which is flour and oil cooked together it can be a light roux or a dark roux and it is a little tricky to master. It is the beginning of lots and lots of cajun dishes like gumbos and stews.
If you want to try cooking some cajun dishes, please go to an authentic site – MUST be from Louisiana. Best cajun food in Louisiana is located in the Lafayette area (west of baton rouge) Not New Orleans – that would be Creole Food.
It is hard to cook when you can not see.
If you are like me then as time goes by it gets harder to see. The small print is the toughest. When you are trying to work with measurements on measuring cups it gets difficult. That is the issue that drove me to get glasses. I fought it as long as I could because I just didn’t want to spend the money.
While doing my research online I came across an article titled “Cheap eyeglasses are a reality. Check out Eric’s review of Zenni Optical” on the examiner.com site. This was an eye opener. I went to Zenni Optical at eyeglasses and I was surprised.
Zenni Optical uses the latest up to date materials and manufacturing techniques. They have a large variety of styles to pick from and they really know what they are doing. The most amazing thing is that the price was so much less than what I thought it would be.
The process is very simple. They can take your prescription and offer you quality glasses at unbelievable prices. They are able to do this by cutting out the middle man. This allows them to provide quality eyeglasses at discount prices.
So give it a whirl and go to eyeglasses and get the deal of your life.
