<br />For folks who don’t know what <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/locations-houston">Cajun food</a> is, it's basically the cuisine of the Cajun people. These people originated in the south of France, emigrated to Nova Scotia and founded a colony called Acadia. The British kicked them out in the 18th century, and a lot of them fled to Louisiana.<br /><br />As refugees, the early iterations of Cajun cuisine was practical, and consisted largely of dishes that could be cooked in one pot and anything that proved to be edible, including alligator. Blended with herbs and spices found in the Louisiana bayous, even the weirdest animal protein was transformed into a fantastically delicious and memorable meal.<br /><br /><b>New World Flavors</b><br /><br />Besides alligator, the transplanted Acadians learned to catch local fish such as catfish, perch and bass and to hunt for possum, wild turkey, raccoon, deer and squirrel. The Native Americans taught them how to grow such New World staples as corn, potatoes, beans and rice while African Americans introduced them to okra and sugarcane. Gumbo, of course, is impossible without okra. Read more from this article: <a href="http://bit.ly/2vzLnb6">http://bit.ly/2vzLnb6</a></div>

<br />Eating out at a restaurant is one of the best excuses to get out of the house and have a bit of fun. Whether you don’t have the energy to fix up a meal or you’re simply tired of getting the same order from the local takeout place, it’s also a great way to unwind.<br /><br />If you want to spice things up a bit and try out something new, you could head to one of the many <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/about">Cajun seafood</a> restaurants serving the Houston area. Besides sampling some of the most delectable dishes, there are also other perks of skipping on home meals.<br /><b><br />Spend Time with Friends and Family</b><br />Dining out is almost always regarded as a family affair. Restaurants are more than willing to provide a laid back environment where you freely converse and bond with close friends and family. If you don’t spend enough time in the same room on a daily basis, try to make the most of it. You can sit down and avoid distractions while enjoying a meal together and getting the chance to catch up. Imposing a “no gadgets and no work talk at the table” rule can also further enrich the experience. Just take this opportunity to enjoy good food and each other’s company. After all, it might be a long while before you can get everybody together again in the same space due to work or school commitments.

<br />Texas has many attractions and activities to offer both tourists and locals alike. You’ll never run out of things to do for an <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/contact-us">entertaining night</a> out on the town. Picking from the many different options available is difficult at times. The sheer number of choices makes planning a daunting task.<br /><br />There are, however, some easy steps to narrow down your search and make choosing your evening plans simpler than looking through endless catalogs of recommendations.<br /><br /><b>What Do You Want to Do? </b><br /><br />First, you need to figure out what you want to do. Dinner is obviously a given because everyone needs a hearty meal to prepare for an active night. This doesn’t mean that dinner has to be a boring ordeal though. Many of the restaurants throughout Texas offer so much more than a meal. Dinner and a show pique the interests of some people. Other people look to enjoy the local musical talent. Your personal interests shape this decision, and it helps shortlist appropriate places to eat. You can also separate entertainment and dinner, although many great places provide a tasty meal and entertainment in one convenient place.

<br />As more and more people in Kemah and elsewhere are drawn to the amazing taste of <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/">crawfish</a>, you have to ask yourself if they will one day become extinct. After all, once you’ve got a taste for these bad boys, you’d want to eat them daily. Fortunately, you won’t have to worry about any shortage any time soon, and here are the reasons why.<br /><br /><b>Crawfish Mature and Reproduce Quickly</b><br /><br />The average age for a crawfish to reach sexually maturity is 3 months. Red Swamp Crayfish, are common in the Southeastern United States. A healthy female can produce as many as 600 eggs in a season and reproduce twice a year. That's a lot of baby crawfish! Texas holds great waters for the reproduction of crawfish, making it a prime spot to find restaurants that serve up these tasty crustaceans by the bucket load.

<br />When many people think of craw fish, they picture a big get-together party on the beach as the perfect way of bringing summer to an end. While there is nothing wrong with a craw fish party, don't limit yourself to only a Labor Day event. A menu of craw fish has existed in many countries and cultures for thousands of years as a holiday tradition. By having <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/locations-houston">year round crawfish in Houston</a> available, you can plan your next holiday celebration regardless of the time of year.<br /><br /><b>Why Celebrate at the End of Summer?</b><br /><br />We can thank the Finnish for making crayfish parties so popular at the end of summer. It all started in the 16th century when Finland started raising crawfish for food. The fresh river waters were perfect for these little shellfish, or jokirapu, to thrive. July 21 through the end of October was the noted crayfish, or rapukausi season. This celebration of the crayfish continues today, not only in Finland, but all around the world.

<br />If the first city you think of when someone mentions <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/">crawfish</a> is New Orleans, no one will blame you. But you might be surprised to learn about Houston's intimate relationship with the delicious little crustaceans.<br /><br /><b>The Crazy Frenchman</b><br /><br />It's a love affair dating back to the early 1960s, when A.J. Judice Jr., the Crazy Frenchman, first introduced Louisiana-raised crawfish at his store in Port Arthur. Judice understood the importance of advertising, and his flamboyant personality served him well.<br /><br />In 1963, as a way to promote his business, he began the beloved tradition of crawfish racing to Texas. Few would argue that Judice was the godfather of crawfish in Texas, and he was later appointed a Texas Crawfish Racing Commissioner by the state's governor.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">A Brief Background on Cajun Food</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Cajun food came from the Acadians, French speakers who settled in the South after being <a data-mce-href="https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/articles/a-brief-history-of-cajun-cuisine/" href="https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/articles/a-brief-history-of-cajun-cuisine/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration-line: none;">driven from their original homes in Canada</a> in the 18th Century. Upon settling in Louisiana and the surrounding states, they adapted their style of cooking to fit with the ingredients that were easily available in the swampy environment: crawfish and seafood, rice, deep spices, vegetables, and potatoes. Many Cajun dishes you’ll eat include what’s known as the ‘holy trinity’ of vegetables. The combination of onion, bell pepper and celery create a familiar and delicious base that many dishes are built upon.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Crawfish are a freshwater crustacean that thrives in swampy settings. Even today, crawfish are farmed with rice paddies as their habitat, as well as being caught in the wild in states such as Texas and Louisiana.

Everyone knows that it’s important to eat healthy food with good nutritional content, but sometimes it can be hard to tell which ones they are. If you regularly enjoy eating crawfish, you will be pleased to know that these crustaceans provide a lot of nutrition and are a healthy option to select when you choose to go out for a meal.</div>
<div class="w-richtext" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">The Macronutrients of Crawfish</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Crawfish have very low carbohydrate content, and only trace amounts will be found in a serving. Many people find large amounts of carbohydrates cause them to bloat, so try to cut down on their intake. When you select crawfish from the menu, you won’t need to worry about the amount of carbs you’re consuming.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The major macronutrient in crawfish is protein. You’ll get around 30% of your recommended daily allowance of protein from just one serving of <a data-mce-href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/" data-rt-link-type="external" href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration-line: none;">crawfish</a>, which <a data-mce-href="http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/finfish-and-shellfish-products/4265/2" href="http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/finfish-and-shellfish-products/4265/2" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration-line: none;">contains about 14.9 grams of protein in each portion</a>. Protein helps your body to repair and build tissues such as muscle, and your hair and nails are mostly constructed from it, so you should always consume your recommended daily allowance. It’s important to keep your intake high as your body doesn’t store proteins, and there won’t be any to draw on if your consumption drops. Fish and meat are a high source of protein, which is why it’s such a good thing to eat crawfish when you can.

Cajun cuisine has long been a favorite type of food, not only in the deep south, but across the US and beyond too. Many people regularly enjoy visiting a local restaurant with their family for some traditional <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/locations-houston">Cajun food</a>, as they can eat a comforting meal that tastes at least as good as home cooking. <br />
<br />
The word ‘Cajun’ comes from the term ‘les Acadians’. The Acadians were French colonists who originally made homes in the Acadia region of Canada. Cajun food has a proud history and traditional ingredients, but what has lead it to being such a staple menu in restaurants?

Three of the most popular seafood in the Southern states are <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/">crawfish</a>, shrimp, and lobster. While to some people there appears to be very little difference between the three, to those who catch them or are big foodies, there are a number of important differences.

Almost everyone loves <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/">crawfish</a>, but it’s not a food that’s commonly cooked in people’s homes. Although a staple of traditional deep South cuisine, crawfish has a reputation of being complicated, expensive, and messy to cook with. While that may write it off many people’s shopping lists, crawfish is becoming more and more popular in restaurant dishes. This suggests that people want to enjoy the taste without having to worry about cooking it themselves. <br />
<br />
Crawfish is a versatile seafood, and it’s seen in the cuisines of many different cultures. Here are the most common, and most delicious, places you’ll find crawfish in modern restaurants. Read more from this blog: <a href="http://bit.ly/2l5YTOv">http://bit.ly/2l5YTOv</a></div>

<span>There's food and then there's comfort food—the type of cooking
that feels like a warm hug for your soul. And when it comes to comfort
food, there's no cuisine more popular than Cajun cooking. And as you'll
see, this tradition has a very interesting—and delicious—story to tell.<br /><br /><b>A Deep History</b><br /><br /><a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/locations-houston" target="_blank">Cajun cuisine</a>
started when the English exiled the French citizens who were living in
Nova Scotia at the time. These displaced people eventually found their
way and settled into Louisiana. They relied on seafood, game, fish, and
vegetables as ingredients, and cooked them in a culinary tradition
rooted in Southern France. Since they lived in impoverished conditions
at the time, they cooked hearty meals in a single pot—an easy and
efficient way of feeding many people at the same time. Read more from

Houston has a tasty little secret: crawfish! While this crustacean is
closely associated with Louisiana, Houston residents have also
developed a strong affection for this freshwater delicacy. For those
experiencing their first crawfish meal, here are a few important tips to
keep in mind.<br /><br /><b>Where to Find Crawfish</b><br /><br />The first
order of business is to determine where to find crawfish in Texas. For
the uninitiated, Louisiana is the nation’s top producer of crawfish and
crawfish season runs only from January to July. That being said, this
doesn’t mean that you have to travel through states just to satisfy your
crawfish craving as there are great restaurants in town that offer this
delicacy. What’s more, some of them even offer <a data-cke-saved-href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/locations-houston" href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/locations-houston">year round crawfish to Houston</a> residents. In other words, it’s easier than ever to enjoy this tasty morsel. Read more from this blog: <a href="http://bit.ly/2kN9f90" target="_blank"><span>http://bit.ly/2kN9f90</span></a></div>

When it
comes to food, Texas is the undisputed king of barbecues. However, there
is one delicacy here that true-blue locals just can’t get enough of: <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/">crawfish</a>.
If this your first time in Texas (or if you’re not very privy to the
food scene), here are a few interesting facts about this much-beloved
crustacean. <br />
<br />
<b>It Has a Swanky Cousin </b><br />
<br />
When asked what
famous crustacean the crawfish is related to, a lot of people answer
"shrimp." While this isn't necessarily incorrect, crawfish is actually
more closely related to the lobster, perhaps the most coveted crustacean
in the sea. If you look at their biological taxonomy, crawfish and
lobster only diverge when you get to the family of species: Nephropoidea
(lobsters) and Astacoidea (crawfish). Read more from this blog:

As conventional wisdom goes: “If it’s too good, it’s probably not good for you.” But it this always true? As it turns out, <a href="http://crazyalanswampshack.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_self">crawfish</a>, a tasty local favorite, has plenty of healthful benefits to offer:<br /><br />Light on Calories<br /><br />Especially
after the holidays, a lot of people will be watching their calorie
intake. It’s a good thing, then, that crawfish is a low-calorie
alternative to other proteins. In fact, a serving of boiled crawfish has
half the calories of skinless chicken breast, which is a staple protein
source for many dieters. As such, chowing down on a crawfish platter
allows you to enjoy a scrumptious meal without worrying too much about
calories. Read more from this blog: <a href="http://bit.ly/2iAcUqN" rel="nofollow" target="_self">http://bit.ly/2iAcUqN</a></div>
