  1. I’m making it now for the 4th of July get together. I have been doing this exact recipe now since around 2010 and it is always the favorite dish for these pot luck’s. With seafood prices the way they are right now, I add 1 lbs of immitation crab/lobster to stretch this out. Don’t forget the Creole seasoning!!!5 stars
