This was very salty for some reason. Maybe I used salty clam juice or something. If I were to do it again, I'd not use Tony Cachere's but the ingredients in Tony Cachere's without that much (1 Tbsp) of salt. To make this more tolerable being that it was so salty, I mixed it in with some macaroni. Otherwise, a VERY good recipe!

Made this for PAC fall 2006. This was wonderfull. I made this for a dinner party last night and it was a hit. Very rich though. For the creole seasoning I used my homemade version of Emril's BAM and the final result was not too salty. I will make this again and again. Thanks Alskann for the opportunity to adopt you and make some great dishes.

This was very tasty!! It was easy to make and went together very quickly. It is also very rich, so small portions worked best for my family. I only used half of the creole seasoning because the brand that I had was fairly salty and spicy. My family really liked this dish and I will definitely be making it again. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!!

The top photo is my dd, Jacelyn aka FraggleJ and her two boys. She was expecting her daughter when the photo was taken. The other photo is Jacob & grandma :), both were taken last Saturday (03/29/08) while we were climbing a local butte. Those two little boys did an amazingly good job of hiking the steep trail (so did grandma!).
Food is my passion. I love to cook, I love to read recipes, I have hundreds of cookbooks. My favorite cookbook is Recipezaar! Since I joined in 2002 it has become the first place I go when looking for a recipe. Cooking is what I do for fun.
I love to travel! Not only do I get to see new places and meet interesting people - I get to try new food.
My other passions are my grandkids!!! Nothing beats grandmahood.
