Happy Mardi Gras! Take the guess work out of planning your party with these 20 Fun & Festive Mardi Gras Recipes

20 Fun & Festive Mardi Gras Recipes To Try This Year

Do you plan to celebrate Mardi Gras this year?

Even if you have no plans to be where all the action will be happening in NOLA, you can still create your own Mardi Gras party.

I’m sharing 20 festive Mardi Gras recipes; you can check them out below.

If you are planning a party idea, be sure to have tons of beads on hand, and my Give Me Beads Tree is a way to put a creative spin on using your beads as part of your decorations.

I also created a Mardi Gras Table Decor idea to give you some tips on decorating your party area.

"Laissez les bons temps rouler!" Celebrate Mardi Gras with our take on the Classic Hurricane Cocktail. Mixed with spiced rum, coconut rum, mango passion fruit juice, and bourbon-spiked Maraschino cherry syrup, and a few other ingredients, this is a celebratory cocktail worth making over and over again. Turn up! Cheers!

Celebrate Mardi Gras with our take on the Classic Hurricane Cocktail {mardi gras}

This po' boy sandwich is made with shrimp made with a mixture of mayo, fried sweet corn, diced radish, celery, and parmesan, served on flatbread. This Shrimp Po' Boy is great to serve with a side of Cape Cod chips, the type of appetizer you serve on a summer afternoon, a day at the beach, or just because you're craving a po' boy!

Our take on this classic is a shrimp salad served on whole wheat flatbread- Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwich Recipe.

The Best Instant Pot Shrimp Bisque

Our Shrimp Bisque Recipe Made in the Instant Pot will be a great substitute and a ton of delicious comfort food in a bowl.

The Best Whitefish Fish Cakes

Cod Fish Cakes with Garlic Scapes and Mayo with Capers is a great way to celebrate Mardi Gras!

Chicken Gumbo Mardi Gras recipe

Our chicken gumbo recipe saves time by making it in the Instant Pot, but it doesn’t lack flavor. 

Celebrate Mardi Gras this year by making our Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo recipe. 

Check out this roundup of delicious Mardi Gras Recipes!
