  Mom’s Shrimp Mosca – Cajun BBQ Shrimp

  Posted on March 25, 2013 by Cel in Food

                                I’m not sure if there’s a dish I’ve wanted to make from my childhood more than my mom’s Shrimp Mosca. Watching her at the stove, the recipe seemed like some big secret. As I would peek over the counter’s edge, [...]

    There is a really cute activity going around Facebook right now which was made by a guy named Spaine Patrick Edler who lives in Lafayette called ”What is your Cajun Name?”  It’s so funny!   I saw a blues version also on Facebook, but this one really hit home. So from now on you can [...]

  Love Gulf Seafood

  Posted on January 21, 2012 by Cel in Excursion

    Well, I didn’t do the shrimping…but when I visit my sister, I LOVE to see the shrimp boats docked in Delcambre. She lives fairly close so we take a ride every time. The Port of Delcambre has historically been a large part of the shrimping industry in South Louisiana, with numerous boats docking and [...]
