IngredientsDirections

The sautéing at the start of the cooking will brown the key ingredients to bring out the flavour of the dish and adds authenticity. Also add in crayfish or crab meat if you want and don’t be afraid to add more Cajun seasoning if you like it spicy. Pair with cornbread to contrast flavours. Hush puppies also work!
