Laure’s Shrimp Etouffee
One year for Mother’s Day, my cousin Laure, my grandmother, and my parents all came to visit. Laure was gracious enough to make her wonderful etouffee for us. It starts with a roux and shrimp sautéed in butter, and finishes with onion, celery, bell pepper, and seasonings.

Leesa’s Thai Spicy Noodles
This is one of my favorite recipes, one that I used to make often for family and friends. Rice noodles, lime juice, ground peanuts, and fish sauce are a delicious combination. I typically omit the bean sprouts. And yes, you really use a whole tablespoon of red pepper flakes. Trust me.
