I tweaked this recipe with my own combination of seasonings. I also added about 1/3 cup of whipping cream to the mixture. I made my own crust as well. It’s a good recipe with lots of flavor. I’ve made it for family and friends to rave reviews. It’s a true Louisiana dish with this Louisianan’s seal of approval.
