Cajun cuisine uses a variety of spice for flavor and incorporates a lot of seafood and wild game. Although many Cajun dishes contain high-fat, high-sodium ingredients, almost all of them can be made with less fat and salt. For a healthier Cajun option, consider:
- Boiled or grilled crawfish or shrimp
- Creole and jambalaya with shrimp or chicken
- Boiled or grilled seafood
- Po' Boy sandwiches with roast beef or turkey
- Brown rice
- Baked potato or steamed vegetables
- Blackened entrées (ask to have entrée baked)
- Red beans and rice with shrimp
