While most Cajuns reside in Louisiana, a large population of Cajuns also live in the Southeast corner of Texas. Cajun food culture has influenced the cuisine of Texas, and vice versa, creating a unique blend and array of dishes. The term barbecue is a bit of a misnomer here as traditionally there is no grilling or barbecuing required for this dish. Luckily, the simplicity of this meal makes replicating it at home a breeze. The spicy, tangy, and savory sauce is the perfect poaching liquid for the shrimp and is ideal for soaking up with a hunk of crusty bread.
