What a name, huh? Well, let me tell you, this is one of those dishes that is packed with so much flavor, you will definitely be going back for seconds!
A few weeks ago, I was in the mood for Cajun and decided to whip this up for dinner. Everything came together in no time, and we ended up having plenty for lunch leftovers the next day! Not only is this meal inexpensive, but you can also change it up to add as little or as much spice as you want!!
Enjoy!!
