HOT & CRISPY DES ALLEMANDS CATFISH SANDWICH
Home to the Catfish Festival, Des Allemands, Louisiana is a fishing village known for the waters that surround it – waters that produce catfish. Seafood restaurants dot the area and serve up big platters of fried catfish. This sandwich is our nod to the generations of fisherman in Bayou country, without whom we wouldn’t have...
TEQUILA LIME SHRIMP TACOS
These Tequila Lime Shrimp Tacos are an explosion of flavors. We called our Lime Margarita Salt over from the bar and asked for its help in the kitchen and seasoned the shrimp with the glass-rimming mixture. Seasoned shrimp get a quick dunk in tequila then they’re sizzled in a skillet. That big-time tangy brightness gets...
MUSSELS WITH SOFRITO & CHORIZO
This dish is like a dance of flavors. Briny mussels mingle with the aromatic Sofrito while Spanish chorizo adds depth. This is everything there is to love about Spain in a bowl – don’t forget the bread!
GARLIC & WHITE WINE CLAMS
Garlic, butter and white wine team up with our Chackbay Blend for down-the-bayou twist on this steamed classic. Clams bathe in a fragrant broth just begging to be soaked into warm, crusty bread.

Baja Fish Tacos
We looked to our Baja Fish Taco Blend to deliver big flavor to these fish tacos. We like to use firm, white cod and then load up the tortillas with a crunchy cabbage, a spicy sauce and our favorite: pickled onions or radishes. This meal comes together quickly and is a great feed-a-crowd solution.
Betty Jo’s Shrimp Stew
Among the many hurricane stories in store owner Anne’s family, the shrimp stew tale takes the cake. Anne was caring for her mother Betty Jo during hurricane Isaac and preparing her mom’s favorite shrimp stew. The flood water rose very fast and before their eyes to their knees. Their exit was just as swift. Hours later, evacuated...
Cream of Cauliflower Soup with Crawfish
This beautiful, decadent soup is our take on Belle River Crawfish Soup from Louisiana Travel. This creamy cauliflower and potato soup base is a delicious delight on its own. Now, bring in the crawfish! Garlic Jalapeño Oil and Unholy Trinity bring big flavor to this South Louisiana classic. Looks decadent. Sounds fancy. But trust us, this one...
CRISPY SKIN SALMON
We get lots of questions about salmon, and this version is one of our favorite answers. Not quite a sear – pan isn’t hot enough. Not a poach – not enough oil. We call it slow simmered. And we also call it very, very delicious. Here’s the thing with this recipe – it’s really a...
