    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

    Amaziiiiiing! Cooked this today for my family and everyone LOVED it! Followed the recipe exactly, but i used 6 tortillas instead of 4 in each because 4 leaves a third of the pan exposed. And the recipe is not bland at all. The recipe clearly states to season the zucchini mixture and to season with salt and pepper between each layer

    After reading several reviews that described the recipe as bland, I decided to punch it up a bit on my first go-round. I increased the butter, olive oil, garlic and cajun seasoning (I used Zatarain's Creole Seasoning each by 50% and skipped the added water later in the recipe. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic while it was heating. Leaving the extra water out essentially made this a fried rice dish (there's plenty of liquid in the tomatoes but it turned out great!

    Whoa. I thought this might be bland, just looking at the few ingredients listed. WRONG! Since I had everything on hand and the reviews said it was quick and easy I decided to give it a try. I even added diced green pepper to try to jazz it up a bit. NOT BLAND AT ALL!!! If you use a good cajun seasoning and the correct amount of garlic you should be just fine. My seasoning had enough kick for me, but if you like it HOT HOT HOT then serve with a good southern hot sauce. This one is a keeper.
