Seafood
Seafood represents the clearest intersection between Vietnam and New Orleans. But it didn’t just unite our food cultures. It also helped connect communities of people. Shrimp and catfish became common denominators that tied the Mekong and the Mississippi Deltas together.

Shrimp Aguachile
20mins – Similar to ceviche, this is a flavorful Mexican appetizer with shrimp marinated in a lime juice in a bright and spicy chile and cilantro sauce.
-
NOLA-Style BBQ Shrimp (My Way)
30mins – My take on New Orleans BBQ shrimp leans into deep savory flavor with a Southeast Asian twist.
-
Seared Fish with Spicy Avocado Sauce
18mins – This dish is inspired by the now closed Mr. Donahue’s in NYC (RIP). The sauce is guac meets nuoc mam, and can be used on just about anything.
-
Filet-o-Fish
25mins – This is a simple fry done right. Pay attention to your heat, trust your timing, and assemble while everything is still hot. The difference is in the details.
