In the Works
Where the menu goes next: deeper into Cajun tradition, without losing the Shack favorites. These are proposals for the new menu, not on the board yet.
The Monday tradition: red beans simmered low and slow with sausage, served over rice. Built for cold weather and holiday tables.
Chicken, sausage, and rice cooked together in one pot, the way jambalaya is meant to be.
Blackened catfish and shrimp as a preparation choice: pick your plate, ask for it blackened.
A proper finish: warm bread pudding under a whiskey sauce, next to the beignets.
Boils & Crawfish
Pick your seafood, your flavor, and your heat. We boil it, bag it, and pour on the butter.
Crawfish in season, jumbo shrimp, or snow crab, by the pound.
Cajun garlic butter and house blends, the way you like it.
From mild to bring-the-heat. Add corn, potatoes, eggs, and sausage to round it out.
2 snow crab clusters, 2 lb jumbo shrimp, 4 corn, 4 potatoes, and 1 sausage link. The boil bag that feeds the whole family.
Crawfish season runs late January to early July, and the peak is March to May. Market price is posted weekly in the restaurant. Order by Thursday to lock in your weekend boil.
