Submitted by Mamas Kitchen Hope

"Cajun brilliance! This is exceptional! Simple ingredients that combine to make an exceptional meal. Easy and fast. Perfect for a date night or romantic dinner or a small dinner party. Made lighter by incorporating my Recipe #269311 in place of heavy cream. If calories are no problem, use an equal amount of heavy cream. Serve with more champagne or a nice Pinot Grigio and some crusty bread."
