    Cajun cuisine

    Cajun cuisine is both spicy and satisfying, shaped by the combination of French, African and Native American influences in Louisiana, USA. It is known for using bold spices like chilli pepper, paprika, white pepper, and garlic to add depth of flavour to dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish Etouffee. Cajun cuisine is characterised by combinations of meats, sausages and seafood, pork and all kinds of trifles. Cajun stews are multi-ingredient and often rice-based.

    Seafood, especially shrimp and crawfish, is quite popular in Cajun cuisine and is used in dishes such as seafood gumbo and shrimp Creole. And of course the famous Cajun-style fried chicken, which is crispy, juicy and so flavourful. If you’re a foodie looking for something new and exciting, Cajun cuisine is definitely worth a try.
