Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I am a big fan of Cajun, Creole, and Haute Creole and I want to treat my significant other to a romantic dinner of cajun/creole delecacies and I want to wow her. What Should I Cook?

Louis Armstrong,a NOLA native loved red beans and rice. In fact he loved it so much he made his marriage proposal to his wife conditional...she had to learn to prepare the dish to his liking before they wed. Louis always signed his autographs :red beans and ricely yours".
My suggestion, put on a Louis cd, dim the lights get a few candles, serve red beans and rice and some cajun shrimp and a great gumbo (spring for the file and be patient with the roux) and let her know the romantic story about the dish....because women desire to be sated in all of our senses, so cover the bases and I guarantee you'll be whisking her heart away to the big easy right from your dining room table. For dessert? Strawberries dipped into a chocolate ganache that you've added just a subtle hint of cayenne.

Start with Oysters, some peel and eat barbequed crawfish or shrimp (getting messy fingers can be part of the fun) that you can feed each other, followed by something chocolate for dessert.

I'd serve a spicy Jambalaya. There's something really sexy about shellfish. Maybe it's because you eat it with your fingers.
But, recipes aside, the fact that you're cooking for her and it's V-Day and all that, is really romantic no matter what you cook.
awwwww

I would go for a crawish etoufee or something with shrimp in it.
Just make sure she can handle the spices, lol

I'd go with something a tad spicy like Etoufee...it has rice in it and shrimp and red based sauce. its thicker than soup so its like a meal.
