I have seen a lot of Indians living in United States,especially people from south, shun from any non-desi recipes . Maybe the whole act of shunning has got to do with our conservative culture, but the sad part is they miss out on good tasting food from other cultures. I am no historian to summarize origins of Cajun recipes but this style of cooking originated from Acadian settlers in Louisiana,US. This recipe is a result of one dull moronic work day that pushed my limits to try something different at least in cooking. I cooked this up after improvising on Cajun recipes from other websites and I would definitely add this to the list of my signature dishes.
