Shrimp Remoulade, Yam Trifle, Crab Dip-Easy Louisiana Recipes-Healthier for SELF Magazine

When I was asked to prepare healthy Louisiana food for an editor from SELF Magazine who was in town touring the area, I was so excited.  Some people think eating healthy Louisiana food is an oxymoron but I have a whole book, Gulf Coast Favorites with trim&TERRIFIC Louisiana recipes.  What to make???? I couldn’t decide so I prepared a sampling from my Gulf Coast Favorites book to highlight some of my favorite Louisiana recipes!  From Crawfish Cakes, Crab Spinach Dip Baked in a bread, to Shrimp Remoulade and ended with my Tropical Yam Trifle, featuring our Louisiana yams.  Best of all, I get all the leftovers!
