Fantastic fusion! I loved the cajun flair on the scallops with an almost italian surrounding. I threw in a few sliced mushrooms before adding the spinach because I had too many in my fridge, and they were a nice addition... then I topped it off with a dab of parm cheese. Great low fat, low carb dinner!
