Cajun Seafood Au Gratin

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This recipe comes from Alex Patout's Seafood Kitchen. I got it off of their website and it is WONDERFUL. This is easy to prepare, only takes a few minutes, and so rich and delicious. I make this often for company and it is one of my son's favorite foods. You may eat this over rice, pasta, or my preference, with a loaf of crusty bread. I have also doubled this for a crowd - works well, but it does make a lot when you do this. This can be served as an appetizer or a main dish. ***reminds me of Papadeaux's Blackened Seafood Fondue***

    Cajun Seafood Au Gratin, This recipe comes from Alex Patout’s Seafood Kitchen I got it off of their website and it is WONDERFUL This is easy to prepare, only takes a few minutes, and so rich and delicious I make this often for company and it is one of my son’s favorite foods You may eat this over rice, pasta, or my preference, with a loaf of crusty bread I have also doubled this for a crowd – works well, but it does make a lot when you do this This can be served as an appetizer or a main dish ***reminds me of Papadeaux’s Blackened Seafood Fondue***, I made this the other night, and found the seasonings to be way too strong for my palate so I had to adjust by adding a good bit of regular milk to it to dilute the harshness of the seasonings This resulted in a much thinner creamsauce, I’m sure However, the dish was very tasty I served it as a side dish for steak /mushrooms and roasted asparagus Will make again, DH raved over it
