I am Going to be cooking for about 35 people and do not want to do jambalaya, pastalaya, or a gumbo, but want a little LA flair. I want to keep it kind of simple so I can enjoy the party as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a very easy herby tomato based shrimp and grits recipe in the recipe book. I use stone ground grits, but you can use your own choice. It's much better than the recipes sounds. We served it for 40 folks and got a bunch of calls for the recipe.

It's a make ahead dish. Make the sauce ahead of time sans the shrimp. Add the shrimp just before serving. We made the grits ahead and held them in a roaster.

Served a salad with strawberrires, mixed greens, pralined pecans and red onion with a light vinaigrette and Commander's crack garlic bread. The playes were empty when we picked them up.

Grits n grillades works for a crowd....you can even make overnight crockpot grits. Also consider a baked ziti or lasagna.

Whole piggy on a spit leaves you plenty of time to enjoy your day without much stress to deal with, you just need to start early in order to serve it at the appropriate time of guests arrival and the initiation of Epicurean festivities for the day.
