TODAY on MHTV: The food of New Orleans is a mouthwatering mix of Cajun, Creole, and Southern flavors that I crave. Lucky for me, my brother Jim lives in Louisiana and shared his recipe for his Big Easy-style barbecued shrimp. I’m pairing it with peppery string beans and my three-spice bloody Mary, made with pepper vodka, that packs its own punch.

    I follow Lucinda Scala Quinn’s and John Contratti’s blog on a daily basis. I find so many wonderful recipes. I’ve become a huge fan of Mr. Contratti’s and find the cooking and celebrity aspect of his blog quite cool. It’s great to find a recipe and the latest snapshot of Mr. Contratti with some celebrity.I find the recent pairing of John Contratti and Lisa Lampanelli very cool. I’ve been waiting for a long time for this guy to return to Mad Hungry. Why has it taken so long? Is the show ever coming back?
