CHEESY CAJUN SHRIMP AND GRITS
I was born and raised in the South. A few years ago I moved to Pennsylvania, where good Southern comfort food was hard to find. So I created these creamy, smoky Cajun shrimp and grits to remind me of home. -Kailey Thompson, Palm Bay, Florida

CLASSIC N'AWLINS SHRIMP BOIL
No self-respecting resident of Louisiana will need this recipe! Everyone in this state has his or her own method (complete with secret ingredients-I know one guy who uses Tang, the powdered orange drink) for boiling shrimp, crab, and crayfish. For outsiders, here's a brief rundown of the basics. Start with the freshest, sweetest shrimp available. I love to add spicy sausage and potatoes to the pot, but by all means, omit or add what you like (even Tang). The peeling process may throw some people off, but that's part of the fun. This recipe calls for 2 pounds of shrimp, so you can get a feel for it before you move up to the more common 20-pound party batch. If you can get your hands on some crabs or crayfish, you will need to go a bit stronger on the seasoning and the cooking time, as those hard shells need more spice and more time to absorb the other flavors.

Steps:
- If you're not using the commercial crab boil, wrap the seasonings in cheesecloth and use kitchen twine to secure the bundle. Place the spices, 1 gallon water, salt, lemons, cayenne, garlic, onion, and potatoes in a large pot (squeeze the lemons over the water as you throw them in), and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer at least 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are just about cooked through. Return the heat to boiling and add the sausage and shrimp. Cook for 5-7 more minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through (they will turn bright pink).
- Drain the pot carefully, to serve hot or at room temperature. Remove the cheesecloth bag and lemons, if desired, and then serve the shrimp, garlic, sausage, and potatoes in a large bowl, or just dump them out on a table covered with newspaper and get peeling! If you are using the shrimp for salad or another recipe, cool it completely, then peel and refrigerate until ready to use.
N'AWLINS BBQ "SHRIMP" A.K.A. CAJUN TOFU
This is a little sweet, a little sour and a lot of spicy goodness. I came up with this recipe for my mother-in-law, a vegetarian who doesn't like tofu; but its based on a traditional Cajun BBQ sauce and a technique from "The Art of Tofu." The BBQ "shrimp" make a great appetizer when served with garlic bread for sucking up the sauce or as main-dish with some rice or mashed potatoes. The real trick to this is the tofu. It has to be the Japanese-Style silken tofu, which comes in the shelf-stable aseptic box. And it has to be frozen at least overnight. Prep time doesn't include freeze time or thaw time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Tofu Preparation: Cut open the boxes of tofu and slice in half lengthwise. Then slice crosswise into 1/3 to 1/2 inch strips. Lay out the strips on parchment or plastic-film covered baking dish. Cover tofu and freeze overnight or up to a week ahead. The longer you let it freeze the more shrimp like the tofu texture will become. Remove tofu from freezer 1 to 2 hours before cook time. Transfer the slices to a dry kitchen towel or some paper towels to allow it to defrost. When defrosted, use towel to gently blot up any remaining moisture. Liberally sprinkle each side of the tofu with the soy sauce, the "Old Bay" and 1 teaspoon Cayenne. Allow to marinate which prepping the rest of the ingredients.
- Veggie Prep Work: Dice onions. Dice carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Mince parsley and separate tablespoons. De-seed tomatoes and chop. Chop zucchini. Quarter and de-seed lemons.
- Cajun Spices: Mix dried spices, except the extra cayenne.(You may also use about 1 to 2 tablespoons commercial SALT-FREE spice mix.).
- Cooking: In a large skillet or wok heat the olive oil on low. Sweat the onions on low heat till soft but not yet translucent (about 10 min.) Add carrots, celery, and bell peppers to skillet and continue to sweat till peppers and carrots are soft (about 10 min.) Add garlic and half the parsley, tomatoes, zucchini, 1/2 to 3/4 of the dry spices, molasses and vinegar to skillet. Squeeze the lemon chunks then add them to the skillet too. Simmer till the tomatoes and zucchini soften and the sauce thickens up a bit (about 10 min.) Add tofu gently stir and simmer 5 minutes.Taste sauce for heat and spiciness, add the cayenne if you really like it hot or more dried spices for boldness. If you add more spice simmer a minute or two more.
- Garnish with remaining parsley and served over rice, potatoes, or with toast.
