this week has been... a lot.
between still trying to get my stomach back to normal, catching up on work that piled up while i wasn’t feeling like myself, and staring at my to do list wondering who exactly signed me up for all of this, i’ve been craving the kind of food that feels comforting without asking me to spend three hours in the kitchen (kinda over tomatoes atm tbh). i want dinner that tastes like i put in way more effort than i actually did, because if there’s one thing I’m short on this week, it’s energy.
sooooo, we’re taking a little imaginary trip to New Orleans.
not the all day, simmer on the stove versions you’d order at a restaurant, but the weeknight versions. the kind you can actually make after work without sacrificing all the flavors that make these dishes so good in the first place.
we’re making buttery BBQ shrimp over creamy grits, blackened salmon with a summery maque choux (kinda like a creamed corn vibes), and chicken sausage dirty rice that’s packed with smoky, savory Cajun flavor. if you’ve never had New Orleans BBQ shrimp, first of all... whoever has been keeping that from you owes you an apology and we’re changing that this week. everything shares a handful of ingredients, comes together without a million moving parts, and feels like the kind of meal that (hopefully) makes you forget how chaotic your day was.
