Slap Ya Mama, It's Mardi Gras!


Fat Tuesday is right around the corner and you have just enough time to throw the party together. Purple, green and gold streamers and beads, colorful plates and napkins, some Cajun music and a festive attitude is all you need. Some Crab Soup, King Cake and a Hurricane and you have the recipe for a easy Mardi Gras party right at home!


This soup gets its kick from Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasonings. You can order the seasonings on line and check out all of their recipes. The name of "SLAP YA MAMA" came about when the creator of the seasoning jokingly said, "When you use this seasoning, the food tastes so good that it will make you want to go home and slap ya mama because she could never make something taste that great." The Mardi Gras Café and Market in San Diego has all the Louisiana style food and ingredients you need. If you don’t have time to Slap Ya Mama at home, take her out and show her a good time the New Orleans way at the Mardi Gras Café!

½ stick butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ chopped celery
