Vol 2 - 29 Mins to Dinner Cajun Shrimp With Smoked Gouda Grits

[LeslieSGI]

Has anyone made the Cajun Shrimp with Smoked Gouda Grits on page 57 of the 29 Minutes to Dinner Cookbook, Volume 2? It calls for Cajun seasoning. I am planning to make it this weekend for some friends.

I used Google to search web pages for Chefsuccess.com and found no references to this recipe. I am totally prepared to use my Tony Cachere's cajun seasoning for it. (I know that there used to a PC Cajun seasoning some time in the past.) I am really surprised that there are no cook's notes on this recipe suggesting how I might use the Creole Seasoning as a substitute. Any input? TIA.​

Made this last night and it was AWESOME! Used off the shelf Cajun seasoning. It was just spicy enough and the grits were really tasty with the smoked Gouda added in.

I heartily recommend this recipe unless you hate shrimp or grits.​

Thanks for the review! I may just have to buy some grits so I can try this recipe.
I'm wondering if Rice would work too...grits just aren't something this Northern girl usually has on hand.

It's rather like shrimp creole so I think rice would be a fine accompaniment in lieu of grits.​

Hi there! I have made the Cajun Shrimp with Smoked Gouda Grits from the 29 Minutes to Dinner Cookbook, Volume 2 and it is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend using your Tony Cachere's Cajun seasoning for this recipe, as it adds the perfect amount of spice and flavor. As for using Creole seasoning as a substitute, I would suggest using it sparingly and adjusting to your taste, as it may have a stronger flavor than the Cajun seasoning. Hope that helps and enjoy your meal with your friends this weekend! Happy cooking!
