  • A Tabasco Classic Recipe.
  • Note: Louisiana likes to think of itself as a sovereign state and it is steeped in tradition from the melding of French, Spanish and American history. It was a part of the Louisiana Purchase and became a slave state until the emancipation proclamation and the collapse of the Confederacy. Because of it's tidal flooded bayou and Mississippi River bottom lands it was one of the early producers of rice. The Negros, brought to Louisiana as slaves, brought with them a host of influence to what is known as "Good Ole Louisiana Soul Food" that has help blossom into two of the United States greatest cuisines; the Cajun and the Creole. They brought the seeds from Africa, to plant the okra, that became a necessary ingredient in the Cajun dish that bears its name...Gumbo.
  • Avery Island is located South of New Orleans on the Misssissippi Delta. The Tabasco Hot Sauce is grown, aged , bottled and shipped from Avery Island to our tables. It is a world class hot sauce and has become a part of Cajun and Creole Cuisines. I have collected two recipes from this place that I call Tabasco Classic recipes. The are: Tabasco Classic - Eula Mae's Cajun Seafood Gumbo and Tabasco Classic - Mama Blue's Shrimp Patties. I offer them for your enjoyment.
