Crab

Cajun crab dishes are scrumptious delights that are perfect for serving at parties and holiday events. You'll likely want to make Cajun crab cakes and crab au gratin to impress guests at get-togethers, saving Cajun seafood dressing with crab meat and shrimp for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's celebrations.

Give classic Creole gumbo a try as soon as you can, too. This year-round comfort food is a regional fave that's overflowing with crab meat.
