Mardi Gras Menu Tips

When deciding upon your menu for this party, there are several things you'll want to consider.

With seafood reigning as a New Orleans king, you'll want to include a seafood dish on your menu.

A typical New Orleans oyster bar will provide guests with saltine crackers and a condiment tray for you to make your own sauce with. This usually contains ketchup, hot sauce, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce.

Or, you can enjoy your oysters with just a spritz of lemon and a little hot sauce, right off the shell.

Remember to add lemon wedges to your serving platter before displaying the finished platter on a bed of crushed ice!
