Although shrimp cakes can be used in many ways, this recipe will be served on a bed of greens topped with a cajun sauce. Our shrimp cakes are mostly shrimp with a small amount of bread crumbs; just enough to hold the shrimp together. Another to serve these shrimp cakes is as a shrimp burger. Make them smaller and use as an appetizer. However you serve them, they will be delicious.

The ultimate Cajun comfort food, at least for us. When we aren’t sure what to cook, a rice bowl is always our option. This one has sauteed shrimp and various vegetables. This recipe is easy, fairly quick and oh so satisfying. The recipe can be made with any protein and vegetables. It is also good as a vegetarian dish.

This recipe is based on Virgie’s, John’s mom, shrimp & corn soup. It was one of her favorite dishes to prepare. We have taken her soup to the next level and made it into a bisque. We think she would approve. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal as well as an elegant beginning to a dinner party.

Cornbread is a staple in south Louisiana. Anytime there are greens cooking, cornbread will be baking. We’ve taken cornbread and stepped it up to dinner party status. Our pantry always has a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, it’s easy, quick and good. So this recipe uses the mix with much added flavor.

Cajun French: le genou (lu j’ñoo) – knee
Our Cajunville Shrimp PoBoy was inspired by Little Big Cup Restaurant in Arnaudville, LA. They make a similar one with shrimp, crawfish, crab and andouille. Ours is made with shrimp and andouille in a cream sauce with lump crab meat on top. This is not your typical poboy. The dish brings back memories of cypress knees in the swamps of Louisiana.

Deviled eggs are found on southern tables for most events from funerals to tailgating and everything in between. Most southern brides receive a “Deviled Egg Platter” as a gift, sometimes more than one. Cajunville is taking deviled eggs to the next level by deconstructing them and piping the mixture into pastry cups. With Carnival Season upon us, this dish makes a great first course, party tray or parade watching food.
