Jambalaya Cajun Shrimp Bites #SundaySupper

Who’s ready for Mardi Gras?

I know we are!

St. Louis is known as one of the cities with the largest Mardi Gras celebrations. Huge parades, floats, day events and of course the annual Fat Tuesday events are in abundance here. My children’s father is from Louisiana and one year we were actually there for the big event.

While I don’t do that sort of thing much anymore, you can still find me in the kitchen having a lot of fun with food that day. We love Creole food, it’s so spicy and wonderfully flavorful.

Mardi Gras is historically a food focused holiday, which makes it perfect for me. Jambalaya Cajun Shrimp Bites #SundaySupperTraditionally, we usually make a big old pot of Jambalaya the day of the parade festivities, have some family over and watch everything on tv. We are doing that again this year, but instead of a big pot of Jambalaya, I decided to mix it up a little and serve bite size food.  This year we are making Jambalaya Cajun Shrimp Bites! They are so tasty and easy to just pop into your mouth. Because you saute the shrimp in Creole seasoning first, you get a little extra spice from that too. Jambalaya Cajun Shrimp Bites #SundaySupper with ZatarainsZatarain’s is my go-to mix to make Jambalaya, which is a staple for our Mardi Gras celebration.  Zatarain’s is celebrating 125 years this year, so you know they know cajun/creole like it’s nobody’s business. The mixes are so versatile and easy to use, allowing full customization, and allowing me to change our normal giant pot of Jambalaya to cute little bite size morsels.  Jambalaya Cajun Shrimp Bites #SundaySupper
