We AREN’T the biggest but we are the best
We’re Clayton and Shahinoor — married and the hands-on team behind Rougarou Shuckers, a small-batch crawfish catering crew that feels like family, not a corporation.
Shahinoor was born in Egypt and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana is in her bones; she brings bayou know-how, festival experience, and sharp marketing instincts. Clayton is from New England and has lived in New Orleans since 2012; he’s worked in restaurants and tech — and yes, he used to run lobster bakes before swapping the bibs for mudbugs.
Over the past 10 months, we’ve been showing up to backyards, pop-ups, and neighborhood gatherings with honest boils, friendly service, and zero corporate BS. We’re not trying to be the biggest — we want to be the best.
We do this for the love of the boil and to bring people happiness.

"Clayton and his team at Rougarou Shuckers & Crawfish are a MUST for your next event! Quality, Service, Professionalism, and Event Experience are all A+++++. We hired Rougarou for our firm open house party and the chargrilled oysters were the talk of the night! Absolutely delish and a great way to show off to out-of-town guests. From the very start, Clayton was super responsive and thought through all of the details to make sure we were ready to have a seamless event. Rougarou was super prompt and able to make small adjustments for our set up on the fly. His set up is easy to fit into any event layout and the service was smooth throughout the night. Extremely kind and easy to work with! Everything you'd be looking wfor hen hiring a caterer. Thanks y'all!!” - Tracey A
