Cajun Style Cooking
Cajun food is a style of cooking that could be classified as a rustic cuisine. These particular types of recipes are named for the French-speaking Acadian people that made their homes in Louisiana. They used the ingredients that were easy to find in the region to prepare flavors that stood the test of time and people can't get enough of.
Some of the staple items that you will find in Cajun cooking include rice, sausages, seafood, and vegetables. Shorty Pants Lounge's menu is filled with these throughout, but it's especially evident in our Bourbon Street Eats offerings. These dishes feature rubs and spices direct from Louisiana, just like you would encoutner if you visited the French Quarter in person. Here's a look at the amazing Cajun meals we have for you right here in mid-Missouri.
