Very, very flavorful and a quick and easy dinner! I added an extra teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning (I used Zatarans because I wanted a little bit more heat. Whatever you do, DO NOT add water! There is no flavor in water so why dilute the flavor of the dish? Instead use a nice white wine or even chicken broth will work. The freshness of the parsley and the acidity from the lemon really complete this meal. Delish!

I winged a lot of this recipe and it was still good. Great way to use leftovers! Leftover chicken breast. Only had 3 Roma's so I used a red bell pepper too. I have no idea what a "bunch" of scallions is. Used like 7ish. I don't have cajun spice so I googled it and ended up doing 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne and oregano. It was pretty spicy but it didn't linger, which is exactly what I like. I also added like 2 cups of homemade chicken stock to make the sauce go a little further. I also cut down on the oil and butter too. Half T each. Was so hungry I forgot the parsley and lemon wedges. Still delicious. It was good but not great. Will make again.

This is a simple recipe but packs a lot of flavor, thanks to the Cajun seasoning.

This meal was really simply and really good. It's great for a week night meal because it was fast and easy.

One quick note, I used just one bunch of scallions with the green ends, and it was plenty.

Decent quick and simple filler dish, but nothing spectacular. What really sticks in my craw though about the recipe is that it is labeled as Cajun but has none of the traits that usually identify Cajun food:
1 No trinity
2 No smoked meats
3 Usage of tomatoes (This is a Creole trait
If you want my recommendations (as a lifelong resident of Louisiana on how to modify the recipe:
Dice 1 large white/ yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper, add a half teaspoon of salt, and sauté/brown till onions are translucent. Add garlic (4 cloves rather than 3 and sauté till aromatic.
Add salt and black pepper to your tastes.
(optional Add a quarter lb of diced Andouille sausage or pork tasso. Cook 1-2 min.
Add 2 tsp (or tbsp for a more true Cajun experience of cayenne pepper, and a tsp of paprika with shrimp.
Follow the rest, minus the tomato and subbing water for chicken broth.
(Note the main changes are the removal of "cajun seasoning" and tomatoes, and the addition of the pseudo-mirepoix
