Marguerite's Shrimp Salad
1 lemon, cut in half
1 tbs. Cajun seasoning
2 large hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup each, onion and celery, diced
1 tsp. crushed garlic
1 tbs. chopped dill pickle, optional
1 tbs. chopped parsley
1/2 cup light mayo
1 tbs. Creole or Dijon mustard
1 tbs. ketchup
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Few shakes of Tabasco
In large bowl, squeeze lemon juice on shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning. Add eggs, onions, and celery, and mix well. In separate bowl, mix garlic, dill pickle, parsley, mayo, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco and mix well. Add to shrimp mixture and toss to coat evenly. Chill until ready to serve. Serve on a bed of Romaine lettuce with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocados. And maybe a nice glass of white wine, too. Bon appetit!

More Festival Fun - Day 2!
We passed a great time at day two of Festival International and the weather was gorgeous, sunny and 80 degrees, with a light breeze and low humidity.! A little cool front blew in the night before, making it feel more like California than Louisiana. The festival angels were with us, as they usually are at this festival. We started out at the official Opening Ceremonies at Scene International. Special thanks went out to the 1500 + volunteers that make this festival happen.
Then, one of my dear, old friends came on the stage and blew everyone's mind with his unique brand of slide guitar magic. The one and only Sonny Landreth was getting down! Geaux Sonny! The huge crowd really went wild for this show and Sonny and his talented band were rockin'! I took five videos of this show and will be posting them all on my You Tube channel, so you can catch them here next week. I am posting one of the shorter ones below. Fab!
The Sonny Landreth Band
After this fabulous performance, I was famished and we headed over to the Norbert's Restaurant booth, where I decided to sample the crawfish etouffee, topped with fried catfish! Oh, cest bon, cher!
Then I got a text message from friends wanting us to meet them at the New Orleans Original Daquiri's booth, for a Festival Punch, before heading to the next concert, at Scene Malibu. Yum!
And as the sun was setting over Lafayette, we arrived just in time to see Rootz Underground, a fantastic Reggae band from Jamaica, take the stage.The huge, rowdy crowd was raring to go!
It was so crowded that I could barely wiggle my way in far enough to take this clip, but I managed to take a short one, just before my camera batteries went out! It seemed more like they blew up! LOL
Rootz Underground
Oh the life of a Cajun is oh, so fun!
Stay tuned, the best is yet to come! To be continued.....
Hope ya'll have a fun and fabulous weekend!
Merci for coming by!

Summer is coming, and the living will be easy and outdoorsy. Not quite upbeat as your lifestyle, Marguerite, but I can dream yes? Besides, with these recipes, it'll feel like the Bayou some hot evening.
Hi Marguerite, Your recipes are always so good! And the blog is always so appetizing. Of the ones I've tried, my favorite so far has been the french bread pizza, which you said was a superbowl appetizer. But we call it dinner! Thanks, sp
The Sonny Landreth clip had a real blues feel to it. Steve Miller plays some blues songs in concert, and the Landreth song reminded me a little of Miller's blues sound.
Sound like you had a great time. And the shrimp salad sounds divine. I have to try it.
