Drinks

Abita Beers, Domestic Light Beers, individually mason jarred sous vide sazeracs and hurricanes, champagne and assorted soft drinks

Appetizers

Boudin on a cajun style Charcuterie board, Oven Roasted Okra, Crudits

Main Course

Fried Catfish smothered with shrimp etouffee with cornbread

I wanted to add some healthish stuff but I am drawing a blank. Any suggestions or thoughts on the menu?

How about a nice bread pudding with warm rum sauce for dessert.
Maybe some spicy hushpuppies for appetizer too.

Smothered greens. Just go easy on the pork fat.

It went great the sazeracs and etoufee were the stars of the show. I forgot that even a good hurricane is still a hurricane. I got in the weeds a bit but overall went great. I fry fish for my wife's birthday every year and it's always tough because you can't really cook it ahead, so I always spend the first hour of the party cooking. This etoufee recipe, along with making your own shrimp stock, also in the recipe is nails. I used the instant pot for the stock and wonder if I could make it all in the instant pot.
