Mardi Gras celebrations have been going on for a few weeks now, but tomorrow marks Fat Tuesday. Since Fat Tuesday is the last hurrah before giving up something for Lent (if you do) I figured it’d be the perfect day to whip up any of these New Orleans staples:

Instructions on how to do a Crawfish Boil.

Chicken, Andouille, and Shrimp Jambalaya

Shrimp Etouffee

Red Beans and Rice

Beignets with an (optional) Rasberry Champagne Puree

Mardi Gras King Cake

Of course no Mardi Gras celebration is complete without a Hurricane…
