This is a very tasty recipe and so easy to prepare.. I used a hot cajun seasoning and it was delicious. I cut the recipe back to 2 servings with no problem Thanks for posting Lainey6605

The caramelized onions really makes this recipe special. Next time, I might increase the Cajun seasoning and leave off the extra salt.
