I have also made this using scallops, or a mix of shrimp and scallops, and it is just as nice! I like to serve it with rice and a refreshing cucumber salad. The hotness will depend on the blend of your Cajun Seasoning. Mine is pretty hot, I make my own blend.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The shrimp were cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I added some extra spices and it improved the dish.
