	Grilled Louisiana Shrimp Tacos This easy recipe can be made almost entirely in advance, making it a great choice for entertaining. The sauce and marinade can both be made a day in advance; toss the shrimp in the marinade 30 minutes before serving. Skewer and grill, and you're done. Click to forward this email and recipes.

	Grits and Grillades From Chef John Besh, this is a great choice for Mardi Gras parades, and for Super Bowl Sunday. Once the prep work is done, both dishes cook relatively unattended, and can be kept warm in a crock pot for quite some time. Click to forward email and recipes.

	Emeril's Shrimp Salad on Ritz Crackers Another party choice, finger food at its finest, featuring Louisiana shrimp! Click to forward email and recipes.
