Cajun cuisine known for its spicy notes and heartiness, is a style of cooking that developed in the Southern reaches of the US after Acadian immigrants fled Canada in the 18th century....they lived off the land and what was available to them from the Gulf of Mexico and the water of the bayous. Inspired by rural French cooking, recipes were adapted to include what the Acadians could catch or gather from both the land and sea....

crab, oysters, alligator, crawfish, shrimp, catfish, redfish, etc ....influences from the Spanish, Native Americans, and African-Americans also played a key role in making Cajun cuisine what it is today.
