Zydeco Beans are a traditional cajun creole dish. "Zydeco" literally means "snap bean." French Creole speakers of Louisiana use it to describe their snappy, upbeat blend of music.
This green bean recipe is a must try for pickle lovers. It has a lively, tart and spicy flavor with a snap that makes them irresistible.
