  1. Just made this for supper. Easy and delicious. Great spiciness! Could use any meat really. I omitted the oil. Not at all necessary if you take your time. I also used a ceramic pan.

  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. This was great! I actually plan to make this with shrimp and or chicken because the sauce is so universal. The flavor was soo good that I doubled the recipe mid way through cooking because I knew my husband and I would love it. I served this with linguini.
