The Biloxi Cajun Cookbook

This cookbook covers not only Cajun-style cooking but has many old Southern recipes as well. There are even some special spicy recipes from around the world. The amounts of spicy seasoning have been measured for average hot taste. If you like it hotter, all you do is increase the amount of seasoning. If it is too hot, then cut back on the seasoning the next time you make it. Crawfish, often called "Mud-Bugs" because of where they are normally found, are used in many dishes. They can be added to any dish that has seafood in it. They can be substituted for shrimp or crab meat. Once they have been boiled and the heads removed, they can be used whole or the meat can be removed from the shell and placed in the recipe. Once the crawfish is boiled, the REAL MUD-BUG LOVER will take the head, turn it around and "Suck- the-Head" to get that special flavor only GOURMETS love.
