| If you have lived, fish or hunted in South Louisiana, you know that seafood and wild game abound. Most Cajun children know how to catch shrimp by throwing a cast net while standing ankle deep in Rockefeller Refuge waters or the waters of Rutherford Beach. Because of its unique location, Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge near Cameron, Louisiana is one of the most important wildlife areas in the United States. Another method to catch seafood is to run a sane (a long and wide type of casting net) along the beaches ocean floor standing waist deep in the waters while patiently pulling in today's dinner, tomorrow's crab stew or part of this casserole.

| These nuts are wonderful for entertaining or just plain snacking. You can use any nuts such as pecans, walnuts or almonds. If using almonds blanch the nuts: Blanching defintion from http://www.answers.com/blanching&r=67:Blanching is a cooking term that describes a process of food preparation wherein the food substance is rapidly plunged into boiling water and then removed after a brief, timed interval and then plunged into iced water or placed under cold running water. Blanching rapidly heats and then cools the food. This allows the food, usually fruits and vegetables, to firm up and makes the food's natural flavour more pronounced, and is often a preparative technique for freezing food.
Blanching is also an effective method of loosening the skin on fruits or nuts that one may wish to peel, such as tomatoes, plums, peaches, or almonds. In addition, blanching enhances the color of some (particularly green) ingredients.
Steam blanching is also used to neutralise bacteria and enzymes present in foods so that they may be processed and gain a greater shelf life, such as peanuts. Blanching can also describe deep frying in oil at a lower temperature as with the initial cooking of French fries.
