I cut this recipe in half, used tilapia (that is what I had), and like PaulaG I cooked the vegies and fish together. I also cut back on the cajun spice (I used some homemade Emeril Essence that I had made) and DH and really enjoyed this. Next time I might add some tomatoes just for more color and vegies. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game. Thank you for posting.

I liked this recipe... BUT it was entirely toooooo salty (used Tony's seasoning). Didn't even add the salt that was in the recipe, the Tony's was just too overwhelming. I really liked the concept, but if I make this again I'm going to make my own seasoning without any salt. Also used half of a can of tomatoes instead of a fresh tomato.

I've made this twice. I made it by the recipe the first time. The cajun spice was so overwhelming that I added a can of diced tomatoes to tone it down (not too hot, but too much spice, as in thyme, etc). I made it again this week, but cut the spice to 2 tsp. and used a different brand of cajun seasoning (Tone's). It still wasn't good, nor was it attractive. I won't be making it again.
