This is absolutely delicious!!!! I can not believe the flavour for something so easy to put together. I loved the the cajun seasoning on the fish along with the mayo it added such a nice touch to the dish.. I served ours over wild rice mixed with red pepper and cut up snow peas and it was definitely a restaurant quality meal. One that would be sure to impress any guest. We loved this gailanng and will definitely be making this again, as my son and hubby will eat fish but unlike me they do not love it. Both my men enjoyed this one and said how yummy it was, so that scores points in my book. :)

Absolutely delicious (and easy, to boot!) I made everything exactly as written, except I substituted tilapia for the catfish, which is also a mild-flavored fish. I will be dining on this many times. Even the non-fish lovers enjoyed this! thanks for posting. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.

This is a must try, a must eat, a must devour! Top of the line recipe, full of flavor, full of colorful food, and just as quick as a jack-hammer to make. Guests will think you are the bell of the ball once you present this to them. I made half the recipe and I must say it divided very well with no problems. The only small change I made was instead of using all butter, I used half butter/oil combo. Worked out perfectly and was delightful. The fish I used was catfish as this worked out perfectly as a cheaper filet on sale! Yipee! I love catfish, as this seems like a milder tasting fish, and cooks up so evenly. I can hardly wait to make this again, and will be doing so soon. (also, the shrimp were "jumbo" and just practically melted into the soup. Yum! Great recipe and thanks for sharing!

This was pretty good. It was a lot more shrimp sauce than catfish though and that kind of drowned the taste a little. We liked the shrimp sauce, it was just a little more than I expected. Also, I was hoping there would be a stronger cajun flavor. I did add some extra cajun seasoning on top before putting it in the oven but we thought it could have used even more. Thank you for giving us something new to try!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
