Prepare A Complete Mardi Gras Feast On Your Outdoor Patio Grill

Mardi Gras is all about celebration, and what better way to bring the spirit of New Orleans to your backyard than by hosting a Mardi Gras feast on your outdoor patio grill? From rich Cajun flavors to classic Creole dishes, grilling is the perfect way to cook up a feast that’s both delicious and festive. Whether you're cooking for a small group or a big bash, an outdoor grill with a rotisserie burner can help you create unforgettable meals that will impress your guests.

Grill Up Classic Cajun & Creole Dishes

One of the biggest advantages of using an infrared rotisserie burner is the ability to cook large cuts of meat evenly and efficiently. A perfectly grilled Cajun pork roast, for example, is a showstopper that brings out the bold flavors of Louisiana seasonings. With the right tools and techniques, you can make this dish in no time and impress your guests with its juicy texture and smoky aroma.

Cajun Pork Loin

• 1 Pork Tenderloin
• 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• ¾ Cup Ketchup
• 1 ½ Tablespoons Chili Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
• 2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce (of choice)
• 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 Teaspoon ground coriander

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and rub the sauce onto the tenderloin. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Remove and baste in the marinade twice.

Set the infrared rotisserie burner to medium heat and insert a meat thermometer into the pork loin. Place it on the spit and remove it when the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees. Cover with tin foil for about 15 minutes before slicing. You will find the center tender and juicy, with the outside crisp and flavorful. That’s why an outdoor grill with rotisserie burner is the perfect option for preparing Cajun pork loins and other thick cuts.

Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo Recipe

Even a compact pedestal grill or stainless steel model can be transformed into an outdoor kitchen centerpiece, making it easy to prepare classic Mardi Gras dishes like shrimp and sausage gumbo. This dish is a staple along the Gulf Coast and offers a deep, rich flavor that's perfect for any celebration. Using an outdoor grill allows you to recreate the authentic taste of Louisiana right in your own backyard.

• 1 ½ Pounds of Spicy-Smoked Sausage
• 2 Pounds Peeled De-veined Raw Shrimp (Medium Size)
• ½ Cup Butter
• ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour
• 2 Cups Chopped Onions
• 2 Cups Chopped Red Peppers
• 3 Cups Chopped Okra
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 2 Teaspoons Thyme
• 1 Teaspoon Coarse Ground Black Pepper
• ½ Cup Chopped Celery
• ¼ Cup Chopped Scallions
• 4 Fresh Garlic Cloves (Minced)
• 64 Ounces Chicken Broth
• 14.5 Ounces Diced Tomatoes (Fresh or Canned)
• 3 Teaspoons Sea Salt
• 1 Teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 3 Teaspoons Hot Sauce of Choice
• Serve Over White Rice

Grill the sausage over direct medium heat to brown on all sides and lock in the flavor. Remove and slice it to your liking. Place the butter and flour in a Dutch oven and whisk over medium heat on a side burner or the grill for about 20 minutes. It will begin the brown slightly.

Set the shrimp aside and add the chicken broth and mix in all the remaining ingredients, except the shrimp. Bring to a full boil and then let simmer only partially covered for 2 hours on a side burner if available. Remove the bay leaves and add the raw shrimp. When the shrimp appears pink, remove the Dutch oven and serve warm over rice.

Fried Okra Side Dish

For those who are not necessarily familiar with Southern cuisine, fried okra is widely considered a staple in the Big Easy. Abundant at farms and backyard gardens, okra is relatively easy to prepare and rounds out the Mardi Gras theme.

• 1 Pound of Okra (Cut into Half-Inch Pieces)
• 1 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 Cup Cornmeal
• 1 ¼ Cups of Buttermilk
• 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic
• 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
• ½ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• Vegetable Oil
• One Cast Iron Skillet
• Paper Towels

Thoroughly mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, except for the flour, vegetable oil, and okra. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and place on medium grill or side burner heat. Place flour on a wide plate. Dip the okra into the wet mixture and then roll in flour. Place okra into hot vegetable oil and turn as needed, usually 8-10 minutes total. Remove and place on paper towels to collect excess oil. Serve warm.

These Mardi Gras menu items are examples of what a backyard chef can accomplish with a high-quality grill and infrared rotisserie burner. You can also grill traditional crawfish or tweak a New England clam boil NOLA-style. The key is having an outdoor patio grill that provides reliably consistent heat, free of flare-ups, and enough direct cooking space to keep large groups well-fed.
