Yours looks great. Going to print and take to the lake. I've had this - or something similar - and it was wonderful. I make a gumbo that is similar to these ingredients, BUT the rioux takes about 3 hours...or something...and the entire process is about a 7 hour one but it serves 22. This looks better.

How many does yours serve, Mav?

Jawja, be careful if you put a gallon of oysters per person.

I think you meant 3 pounds of potatoes,... right?

I do this also, with shrimp, potaoes, corn, spicy sausage and sometimes crawfish.
I use for seasoning a small bottle of liquid shrimp boil, a couple of fist fulls of Louisiana shrimp and crawfish boil (it's red, bagless) and a small bottle of Tabasco sause. It's very spicy and not for the wussies.

Okay,....okay,......I'm hungry,....is it summer yet?????

Here is one I tried for the first time today. I certainly found it simple enough and quick enough to prepare. Also, found it to be a terrific meal. I used a full tsp of cayene which certainly left it spicey. Might go with 3/4 tsp next time. The mango was so good I might even add another mango. Beautiful dish visually when served. My wife thinks this one is a keeper and is right up there with shrimp and grits.

Just click on the link below and give it a try.

Actually it is a quart total, based on 4 people. A quart of oysters depending on size is usualy about 24.

Better yet, I like Cokman's gallon idea, as you know the old saying about Oysters and after being married for 20 years I need all the help I can get with my wife.

JAWS - The ingredients are per person, other than the oysters.

Also the new potatoes are 3 per person, not three pounds. Could be 3 lbs if you have about 8 people.
