WOW!!! This recipe was WONDERFUL!!! I cut the cajun seasoning in half because of the kids but everything else was the same. I was a little concerned about it being too runny with that much cream but it wasn't. It got rave reviews from each member of my family! Only my niece thought it was too spicy. Next time I may leave out the pine nuts because my kids hate nuts but I don't think it will take away from this dish at all. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!

This recipe was great. I too have a local restaurant that made something similar and I just had to try this. I used steamed broccoli instead of peas and I used about 3 tbl cajun seasoning instead of 4. Nonetheless, this was a favorite and will be used time and time again. 5 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!
