Shrimp Boil Cabaret -Save our Fishery with Dinner and a Show

Overview
Experience the real French Quarter at Shrimp Boil Cabaret
Step away from the tourist crowds and join us for a private dinner party celebrating the flavors and sounds of the Quarter. We visit local shrimping families at their boat docks a few hours before your shrimp boil to choose the largest, freshest, wild-caught local shrimp available. Mister Gregory, "The Shrimp Boil King of New Orleans" grew up in the Gulf South shrimping and boiling and advocating for wild-caught Gulf Shrimp and the "eat it to save it" culinary approach. Please join us for live local music and a lovely dinner party, make some new friends and eat the very best shrimp in the world.

This is truly the best restaurant experience in New Orleans. The food is delicious and well presented. While you are enjoying the meal you are treated to the history of the food you're eating and a fabulous show by a local cabaret performer. If you do one thing in New Orleans THIS SHOULD BE IT!

We loved this dinner! Mr Gregory was incredibly informative and the food was so delicious and plentiful. Also included live entertainment from a local cabaret performer. Will definitely be returning.

Mr. Gregoryā€™s shrimp boil is a MUST EAT if you are in NOLA! I went on my own in November 2019 and felt very comfortable and so well cared for by not only Mr. Gregory but also his helpers, which included a fabulous drag queen who sang live for our entertainment - so cool ;) We got to start the night with a amuse bouche of alligator sausage (I had more than one - Mr. Gregory is kind enough to supply extras for those like me who want seconds and sometimes even thirds lol!) and then we had some beautifully prepared redfish fresh caught that day, which I had never tried before and was light and delicate (and again I had seconds!). That was followed by even another dish served in a crab shell which was so gooooood but I canā€™t remember the name at the moment (too busy eating to remember I guess! LOL). Our chef explained that he gets his catches directly from a boat and fishermen he has been connected to for years and the differences in catches for different seasons and why we were having our specific meal in November-we were lucky enough to be having white shrimp and they were sweetly flavored and surprisingly large...he showed us his shrimp boil pot and it smelled AMAZING, and it was fun to see our meal before we got INTO it. And when I say INTO it I mean we got into POUNDS of delicious shrimp (and corn on the cob and other things but my focus strayed razor sharp on those SHRIMP! EPIC!). I will admit though I am of a smaller stature I can EAT and I felt immense gratitude for the entire nightā€™s feast-it was not only delicious but educational. After eating with Mr. Gregory I understand why eating wild caught fish and shellfish/etc. is so important - keeping the balance right in our oceans is of vital importance! And being able to celebrate the gorgeous food our planet provides for us with this man and his crew was a very special and unforgettable experience. Buy wild caught fish from local fisherpeople-itā€™s worth the extra $$$! Bring your own bottle of wine if you would like (though I think sometimes he has beers on hand for purchase he may not always), OH! AND donā€™t forget about dessert-it was incredible too so save a little room for that and chicory coffee and if youā€™re lucky possibly a shot of something special... Truly an all around spectacular only-in-New-Orleans experience-I will for SURE be back next time I am in NOLA and actually canā€™t wait!
