I lived in the south for over a decade. If you know you know..the Cajun food is amazing! The flavors are a blend of many cultures and influences - and the end result is beyond tasty. I love that Cajun food is full of flavor but is not full of intense heat. This dish blends all the yummy things. Enjoy
