I've never wanted red beans & rice :laugh:

Just Google Jerk seasoning ... you'll see a bunch!

One of my best friends, Valencia, her father is from Louisiana. We were roommates in college & when her parents would come for a visit he would make it for us...along with a bunch of other stuff. I hadn't had any before then but I feel in love with it! His gumbo!!!:drool: I loved when he came to visit!! He'd cook sooooooo much food!

There's no such thing as cheap shrimp, I was just leery to spend that for it because I'd never tried jerk anything before.
I also have no idea how it will stand up to restaurant jerk seasoning either. So...:laugh: I take no responsibility if you think it's nasty. :lol:

That's true. And I like the word thrifty better:)

I'm in the same boat since I've never tried jerk shrimp & Reggie doesn't eat shrimp so if I don't like it then there's no one to eat it:laugh:

I'm not a fan of kidney beans either.
Nope, never had red beans and rice. My longtime friend in NC thinks I'm from another planet too. :laugh:

I've only seen kidney beans in that nasty tri-color bean salad. You know the one with green beans, yellow (wax) beans, and kidney beans.

    You should check out this cookbook...
    Crazy Sista Cooking: Cuisine and Conversation with Lucy Anne Buffett: Lucy Anne Buffett, Anastasia Arnold, Jimmy Buffett: 9780979969904: Amazon.com: Books

    I have it and it's a great read. She's Jimmy Buffett's sister. She was also a professional chef. Raised along the Gulf, lots of great looking recipes in the cookbook as well.
    Gumbo, with detailed directions...and Jerk too.

    ...basically food similar (if not exactly the same) as found on her restaurant menus...

    ...or FRUGAL. :D I only use "cheap" if referring to myself. Otherwise I go with thrifty or frugal when referring to others. :laugh: :lol::lol::lol:
