Y’all, when I say this recipe was everything I thought it would be, I really mean it! I love cajun things, give me a little spice and I am obsessed.
For this we even make our own little version of cajun seasoning! Such a good date night dish or even a try something new for dinner day!
I fed 5 people with this with only a little bit left over. We did go back for seconds! (lol)
