Crawfish Monica Makes Groceries!
The real Crawfish Monica®, made famous at the Jazz and Heritage Festival, will now be available for you to take home and serve to your family and friends all year ‘round. Kajun Kettle is celebrating their best Fest ever, 2009, by offering their most famous dish to the public 27 years after introducing it at the Fest.
“It’s a great way to celebrate this 27- year milestone – for years, we’ve had thousands of people wanting the dish the other 358 days of the year. Now you can enjoy Crawfish Monica® before, during, and after Jazz Fest! People of all ages, from all over the world, just love it!”, says Monica Davidson.
The heat‘n serve delicacy will be available in the seafood departments at all Rouse’s Supermarkets by May 29th, as well as other fine Grocers. It comes conveniently packed in a 46 oz microwavable, dishwasher-safe container; a 28 oz mixture of the fabulous Crawfish Monica® Sauce with delectable Crawfish tails, and 18 oz of fully cooked Rotini Pasta. It’s delicious and easy to prepare. You can stock it in your freezer for everyday meals. One container feeds 5 – 7 hungry people, depending on portion size.
The Crawfish Monica® sauce w/ crawfish is paired with the same fully cooked pasta that is served at the Fest. It is a high quality rotini which is heated directly in the sauce- once the sauce and pasta are hot, it is ready. You don’t need to boil water or cook it al dente or use extra pots. Best of all, it tastes great.
Kajun Kettle Foods, the
manufacturing home of Crawfish Monica®, will also offer:
1) Monica’s Herbed Shrimp Alfredo with Pasta and 2)
Monica’s Sauce with Chicken, Andouille & Tasso with
Pasta.
“We have a large following of customers who love Shrimp and other customers who prefer the sauce with chicken, for example,” says Chef Pierre Hilzim. “We also will be introducing other retail versions of our exciting meals later this year.”
“This is the whole package: superior quality, easy to prepare, and available right in your favorite store. Go make Groceries with Monica !!”

we’ve shared Jazz Festing, good-eating, stories with the most
