This recipe is from Blog Chef and, woah, was it spicy. The original recipe called for 4 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning and I used the full amount. I ended up eating Tex-Mex for dinner since it was entirely too hot for me to tolerate. I recommend going with a smaller amount of Cajun seasoning unless you really love spicy food! I think I’d like to try to make this again, I’ll just modify the spice level and see how it goes. I think I would have liked more sundried tomatoes as well, but that might be because I’ve got a weird sundried tomato craving going on right now. Art loved it and ate all of the leftovers during the rest of the week.
