With the gorgeous Spring weather we've been having, I have been grilling up some fabulous, spicy shrimp. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare seafood and it is out of this world! Once I start eating these, it's very hard to stop! And the scrumptious Lemon Remoulade Sauce is perfect for dipping. So easy and delicious! Serve with a big tossed salad and garlic bread and a nice glass of white wine. Cest bon, cher! Bon appetit!

More Cajun Fun on the Bayou!
We had an absolute blast at the first Bach Lunch of the season, on Friday, at Parc Sans Souci, in downtown Lafayette. It's a Lafayette tradition to go to this wonderful outdoor concert and lunch, at noon on Fridays, to kick off the weekend a little early. William A. Thompson and his New Orleans Jazz Band entertained the crowd.
Downtown Alive
Then later that evening, we went to the T.G.I.F block party at Downtown Alive, at Parc International. This is another weekly, Lafayette tradition where people go to hear and dance to great live music and visit with friends and family. It was a beautiful evening and The Eric Lindell Blues Band was rockin' the crowd.
And for your enjoyment, here's a little clip that I took of a Cajun two-step. Oh the life of a Cajun, is oh so fun! Let the good times roll, cher!
Wishing you all a wonderful Springtime week! Merci beaucoup for coming by!
HAPPY SPRING, YA'LL!

I'm amazed at all the summer fashions in your video, it's hard to imagine warm weather. Here we're still in sweaters, boots, coats. The snow is just about melted, but now they're predicting more this week. The forecasters are saying possibly a "significant" amount :/
Ya just can't help but tap your feet watching that video. It got me to thinking about how the boys in our high school were allergic to dancing! In Cajun Country everybody dances!!
Hi Marguerite, The recipe looks delicious. I am enjoying lemons a lot lately-- goodness, lemon remouland sauce! thanks, sp
Not warm enough yet for shorts over here; glad to see shrimp recipes back on the menu.
Spring season stimulates sinfully scrumptuous, saucy, spicy shrimps, stimulating saliva - super!! LOL
I bet they are delicious! Are you on the video I wonder? LOL

Joanne- That's amazing! It's around 80 degrees, here, so maybe you should just get on a plane and come on down! :)

Love the video as usual. I can always come back here for a Cajun music fix! Love your shrimp and will add it to my must make list. Maybe you could send some warm weather this way?
I've told you on numerous occasions before how mouth-watering your pictures make these many recipes appear and I'd love to try them sometime but truthfully, I'm a bit chicken. However, there's a new element here in Chez Jeni and that's my daughter's boyfriend who grew up in southern Maryland -between the Bay and the ocean and he LOVES seafood stuff and also, enjoys cooking too! I'm gonna have to show him some of your scrumpdelicious recipes and see if he is brave enough to tackle some of then with me! Misery loves company you know so that way, if we fail, I won't be falling on my behind alone anyway! Does that sound like a game plan or what?
*sigh.... * shrimp...
happy spring to you too !!

Hi Marguerite,
I just love doing the two step with all you Cajun's. If I meet you at the Texas border would you just bring this wonderful Cajun Butter and Lemon Remoulade to me. It just sounds delicious. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and please come back!
I could only eat 20 or so of those shrimp! They look so good!
Jeni- Great to hear from you! The new boyfriend sounds perfect for testing out the recipes and it does sounds like a great game plan! If he grew up between the bay and the ocean, in Maryland, then he'd know how to prepare seafood. Enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spice- Thanks, cher, these sauces are "to die for", and great with veggies, too! Hope you give them a try. Thanks for stopping by!
I, too, went straight to the summer clothes and dreamed...we had a light dusting of snow last night, a blessing because they said as much as two inches.
I've got a couple of bags of shrimp in the freezer. Some of your grilled shrimp tonight, cher!
Grilled shrimp this weekend using your recipe -- fantastic!
