Longest title for a recipe ever! I win! But, listen, this might just be my favorite meal to prepare. This dish is very popular among restaurants in my area. And I pretty much always order it every time. The sauces vary. Different cheeses and seafood are used. Sometimes crawfish, some places shrimp, or either lump…
Seafood
Shrimp, Sausage, & Potato Stew
I had zero intentions of cooking today. But, good things happen sometimes. It’s June and 87 degrees outside today, but I’m making a stew! Thank God for central air conditioning! First things first, you MUST use my Shrimp Stock recipe for this stew. http://www.coopcancook.com/shrimp-stock/ It’s only right! Store bought Stock is cool, but it just…
Seafood Potatoes Au Gratin
Cookies, I want to first apologize for the calories I’m about to introduce into your diet. These potatoes are rich and sinful. Just eat a spoonful while running on the treadmill. You’ll be fine. I make seafood potatoes about 3 different ways. I’ve never had them this way before. The idea came to me when…
Baked Fish Packs
Cookies, I legit just baked the BEST fish ever! Seriously!! Not bragging, but it is amazing!! The good people at Tasty Touch Seasoning sent me some of their seasonings to review. And, listen, I would NEVER lie to my Cookies. This seasoning is delicious! It’s the only spices I used on this fish. It has…
BBQ Shrimp over Grits
To my Cookies residing outside of The Boot state, please do not expect to see BBQ sauce in this recipe! BBQ Shrimp is a New Orleans original. I have no clue why it’s called BBQ shrimp. And, to be honest, I do NOT care! It’s sooo delicious! And, the sauce is super buttery! It’s meant…

Shrimp, Crab, and Corn Bisque
I asked my Facebook Cookies if they wanted a Jambalaya or Bisque recipe this week. Bisque won hands down! So, here it is! Easier than you thought, right?? And it will taste even better the next day! I don’t use potatoes in this recipe. But, you can if you’d like. And please don’t use artificial…
Smothered Okra with Sausage & Shrimp
I said to myself, “Coop.” Myself said, “Huh?” I said, “Look, we ain’t cooking today, ok??” Needless to say, I lied to myself. Smothered okra with green onion sausage and juicy wild caught shrimp! Yes lawwwd!!! I’ve been craving this since my cousin made it for Thanksgiving and I almost ate the whole pot! Didn’t…
Seafood Gumbo
Gumbo!!! It’s officially gumbo season in Louisiana! Although I make it all year round. What else is air conditioning for? We love our gumbo! We all make ours a little different and that’s ok. Just don’t put corn in it and we’re fine. We’re very particular about how it’s made. Ask Disney. Hehehe…anyway, here’s my…
Yakamein
Here’s my take on a New Orleans original!! Good Ole Sober!! Cures you from that wild night of fun on Bourbon Street. Now, this Creole/Asian dish was meant to utilize readily available ingredients. So, leftover cooked meats are welcomed. To those not familiar with Yakamein, this soup can look a little scary! But, trust me, once you…
