The Shrimp Boil is a good way to get in the mood, followed by the King's Cake.

Jambalya with rice, shrimp, sausage, and chicken, and my family always has to have (King cake) the glazed bread with the baby inside to see who wins a special prize ! It's something my boys look forward to every year! Something so simple can really make memories ;p
