Tiana D. says:

The recipe is a healthy spin on my favorite Red Lobster recipe! I had no idea how easy it would be to do this at home and my family went crazy! it was delicious with a side of steamed broccoli.

Aja A says:

Anything that allows me to add excess amounts of butter is good in my book! This cajun better is no exception- so delicious! I used some bread to dip in the butter sauce cause it's so flavorful. Made this with a side of mashed potatoes for an all around filling meal.

Caro Hodgin says:

OMG this tastes JUST like the Salmon New Orleans from Red Lobster. The Cajun butter sauce is sooo good. Seriously, make this ASAP!

Katie Hason says:

I love the spice blend, it worked really well with the salmon and shrimp. This was really easy to make and goes perfect with rice or a green salad for a lighter meal.

Laura Griffin says:

This was a really yummy dish! I love all the spices together. I added a little Louisiana hot sauce to the butter, and it made for a delicious, spicy drizzle on top. So quick and easy!
