I would cook Mr. B's bbq shrimp recipe for an appetizer.
Then I would do some filets tipped with a crawfish cream sauce followed by bananas foster or bread pudding for dessert

You've got a challenge ahead of you not only because you're cooking in an alien environment, but it's your first meeting with your gf's parents. Yikes.
I may get flamed for saying this, but if it were me and in that situation, I'd make the best crawfish Étouffée I've ever made, making sure it's to my liking, then freeze it for the trip. Face it, you're going to have to bring local ingredients with you anyway, why not just make the dish ahead of time especially because of the unknowns, and end up having a great meal out of it. You've still cooked the dish, so no worries there. I know it may not be as good as fresh, but man, cooking in someone else's kitchen AND meeting your gf's parents for the first time? That's a tall order. Here's hoping you hit a home run.

Well, this won't be as daunting as it sounded originally. You can do this.

Go VERY light on the pepper. You have no idea how little cayenne can upset a New Yorker.

She likes canned filet mignon dog food. I'm not kidding. There is such a thing. It costs one dollar.
I have to give it to her in small portions during the day.
Lucy wanted to take a pic of me and the puppy to send through her cell phone. I held the pup and smiled. Lucy clicked and said "That's perfect. I'll send it to all my friends."
She showed me the pic. My head was cut off at the shoulders.

I'm glad she likes and can eat the food!

I would hire a food taster to test for poison, but I do all the cooking.
