The Cards

Card 1 — Crawfish Boil for Two

The full Louisiana crawfish boil ritual scaled down for an intimate table. Includes purging instructions, proper soak time, seasoning ratios, and the all-important reminder to suck the heads. Andouille sausage, corn, and red potatoes included in the pot.

Flavor profile: Spicy, smoky, deeply seasoned. A full sensory experience.

Card 2 — Shrimp Étouffée

Classic Cajun étouffée built on a blonde roux and the holy trinity — onion, celery, and bell pepper. Gulf shrimp smothered in a velvety sauce, finished with green onions. Served over white rice. Always white rice.

Flavor profile: Rich, buttery, aromatic. Comfort food at its finest.

Card 3 — Dirty Rice

Prairie Cajun soul food made with chicken livers and gizzards giving the rice its signature dark color and deep flavor. The holy trinity, garlic, and chicken broth round it out. Ground pork substitute option included for the squeamish.

Flavor profile: Earthy, savory, deeply satisfying.

Card 4 — Chicken & Sausage Gumbo

The dark-roux classic. Bone-in chicken thighs seared and slow-simmered with andouille sausage in a roux the color of dark chocolate. Includes a roux color guide (blonde → peanut butter → dark chocolate), okra option, and filé powder finish.

Flavor profile: Deep, smoky, complex. The soul of Cajun cooking.

Card 5 — Boudin Balls

Louisiana gas station gold turned crispy golden bites. Cajun boudin sausage filling rolled and fried in a seasoned breadcrumb crust. Served with Creole mustard or pepper jelly. Disappears at parties faster than you can make them.

Flavor profile: Savory, crispy, addictive.
