Cajun Seafood Gumbo

December 14, 2020 by George Graham 21 Comments

Cajun Seafood Gumbo

The very first spoonful of this soul-satisfying brew is the essence of the fall season in Cajun country. With bold flavors of Louisiana seafood (oysters, shrimp, and crab) harvested from nearby Gulf waters and crawfish from inland ponds, it is further intensified with dark roux, smoked sausage, and Cajun spice. It’s gumbo time! One sign…

Grilled Grouper Sandwich

December 7, 2020 by George Graham 1 Comment

Grilled Grouper Sandwich

This Grilled Grouper Sandwich is a culinary masterpiece. The herbal intensity of rosemary bathes the fish in smoke-kissed flames that mingle with Cajun spice and a zesty lemon vinaigrette to create “perfection on a bun.” The crisp bun, crunchy lettuce, vinegary pickled red onion, and creamy rémoulade all combine to redefine the term “fish sandwich”…

Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell

November 30, 2020 by George Graham 5 Comments

Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell

Garlicky, buttery, cheesy with a hint of herbs, these are bold flavors that complement the goodness of a Louisiana oyster cooked on open flame. My Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell are a culinary masterpiece, and it doesn’t get any simpler. Hands down, the invention of the char-grilled oyster on the half shell is a…

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

November 23, 2020 by George Graham 7 Comments

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

To me, flounder is flat-out the most delectable of all the Gulf finfish.  And for my money, a classic Cajun recipe for stuffed whole flounder with wild-caught, Gulf shrimp is the ultimate dish for someone as seafood-obsessed as me.  Whenever I see it on a restaurant menu, I can’t resist.  And I couldn’t resist the…

Garlic Shrimp Crostini

November 9, 2020 by George Graham 13 Comments

Garlic Shrimp Crostini

As the Louisiana shrimp season kicks into high gear, I’m craving all things shrimp.  Sometimes I feel like a character in the movie Forrest Gump as I reel off my favorite Cajun recipes: shrimp gumbo, shrimp Creole, shrimp jambalaya, fried shrimp, stuffed shrimp, oh well, you get it. My wife Roxanne loves shrimp as much…

  With his ever-present straw hat to keep the South Louisiana sun at bay, Lance Nacio is easy to spot. Lance fishes the Gulf waters out of his dockside home in Montegut, LA, in Terrebonne Parish. A third-generation fisherman, Lance grew up in Lafourche Parish, about an hour outside New Orleans. His family, like others…

Stuffed Whole Red Snapper

Stuffed Whole Red Snapper

When it comes to the tastiest fish preparation, this is it. Whole Red Snapper with basil pesto stuffed with Creole tomatoes and served on a bed of onions and peppers layers flavor on top of flavor. Recently my wife Roxanne and my daughter Lo made this dish for me, and they said it was a…
