new to me fried shrimp

I am at risk of losing my Cajun status, I forgot the roux in the gumbo on my last post. I hope no others Cajuns read that post, they may tell on me.
lol
Well at least I only forgot it in the post, not in the actual gumbo.

Im in Mobile and noticed that..you could get into trouble round there!


Man I wish I was your next door neighbor for some of those super bowl eats!!!


Yall getting some good oysters? We just started getting some good ones from Bayou La Batre and Coden again here since the oil spill. They been crappy ones from the east coast of FL. (where they said they came from)

Wow, that gumbo really tasted good. The only changes to the ingredients was in the stock. The 2 gallons that were in the freezer did not smell right so I was not going to chance ruining all that seafood. So someone else had a quart that they gave me. So it ended up 5 gallons water, 1 quart shrimp stock, 3 pints roux then the rest of the seafood in the above post.
It ended up at about 50 quarts of gumbo. The crowd the saturday night before superbowl sunday was about 100 people. That pot only lasted about 3 hours after the first bowl went out. Oh, as for seasoning, about 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup red pepper and 2 bottles Paul Prudhome Seafood Magic.

I forgot to answer the oyster question. I put some small ones in that gumbo. But ate some really nice, firm and salty ones raw Saturday afternoon. At that party we usually have a couple of sacks to open and I usually get picked to open them. This year they came already shucked, I wasn't complaining, ready to slurp down. Ahhhh, one of the benefits of living here. Fresh seafood of all kinds whenever the desire hits.

CAN YA'LL TELL I LOVE LOUISIANA???
