bacon
Bacon amounts vary by the cooks liking. For me the more the better. But I use a pack for a meal that size. Besides you will sneak a few pieces out the tray while you are cooking. I know I do, the saltiness goes good with my Corona.
I will reach into my bag of Cajun goodies in the next few weeks and share some of the good eats (recipes) with ya'll. Next weekend I have to cook a seafood gumbo for a Superbowl party I attend every year. It's gonna have 2 gallons shrimp stock, blue crab meat 5# white 3# dark, 10 quarts shrimp, 2# crawfish with fat, 4 doz. raw oysters and about 3 doz crab dressed crab bodies. Seasoning will be courtesy of what the Cajuns call the holy trinity of cooking (onions, bell peppers and garlic) with salt and red pepper to bring it all together. I will cook it the day before it's needed so it can be chilled over night. A gumbo is always better the next day.
I'm hoping the 2 gallons of stock will cover all that material, I really did not want to add any straight water.
