Here is one of my all time favorite recipes for fried shrimp. There is nothing like biting into one of these babies, after dipping in some tangy hot seafood sauce. Or sometimes I just love them in a big salad. I grew up eating lots of fresh Gulf shrimp and have perfected the recipe over the years. These are really easy to prepare and are out of this world! Oh, cest bon, cher!
Cajun Fried Shrimp

3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 tsp. each, yellow and creole mustard
2 tbs's. Cajun/ Creole seasoning
1 pkg. Louisiana brand fish fry mix (another brand may be substituted)
Vegetable oil for frying
Place shrimp in large bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tbs. Cajun/Creole seasoning and few shakes of Tabasco and coat well. In separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, mustard, and Cajun seasoning. Pour mixture over shrimp. Let stand for 30 minutes, in fridge. Combine fish fry mix, and 1 or 2 tbs.'s Cajun seasoning. Dredge shrimp in fish fry and fry in batches in the vegetable oil, until golden brown. Enjoy, cher!

Since I've noticed a lot of cases of the blahs around the blogosphere, lately, I thought I'd post a little clip of some good old Bourbon Street blues. I know how stressful the month of December can be and it's nice to take a break from the madness and listen to some upbeat music, each day. Grab a cold drink and crank it up, cher! Cheers ya'll!
