Mardi Gras Recipes?

My firm will be hosting a Mardi Gras themed staff party in March and I've been put in charge of food. I'm more of a baker than a cook, so while I've got tons of great dessert recipes, I've got NOTHING for actual food. I don't even know what's traditional of a New Orleans Mardi Gras meal?!

Any ideas/recipes would be extremely helpful. We'll definitely be ordering some stuff, too, since we don't have a kitchen here and not everything can be made at home and brought in. So far, I've got jambalaya and that's it! lol! Help! TIA! Chat Icon

If it helps, I saw a jambalya recipe in my crockpot cookbook. That may be an option too. Chat Icon

Good luck

Anything with sausage or seafood.

I recommend Good Housekeeping's Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo recipe.

It's a soup but very hearty with sausage and shrimp and rice. It makes a HUGE portion too, so all you have to do is make one pot/recipe and it will feed a whole office.
