re: Cajun Cookoff Menu Ideas

There are no menu limitations. We've heard there are always jambalayas and boudin, and sometimes a pastalaya or gumbo cooked. We are doing a big pastalaya, some boudin, probably frying some beignets, and I'm thinking about doing chargrilled oysters as the kicker to set us apart. Looking for advice / feedback on the oysters and some other ideas.

I would do any of the below suggested by LL before the things you've selected which will not stand out.

quote: Chicken Sauce Piquante would be great for this. One of my top Cajun dishes. Grits and Grillades is another option. Maque Choux. Crawfish Cornbread. Any sort of stew.. Shrimp Stew is a good one. Crawfish Fettuccine. Au Gratin.

If folks do boudin, then do boudin balls, unless they do those as well.

Cracklins.

I love chargrilled oysters, but I don't see them as Cajun.
