This tasted Amazing with some minor adjustments... I bought curry powder instead of cajun seasoning on accident and was stressed. Well I used about 2T. of curry powder and it was great. Everyone loved it!
Oh that is so frustrating when you buy the wrong ingredients, I hate that! That was probably a little interesting with curry powder but I'm glad it turned out ok. You will definitely have to try it with the cajun seasoning next time! Thanks for looking at the blog!
