The dish, Cajun Spiced Garlic Butter Prawns is a delicious variation to the regular garlic butter Prawns! Cajun Spice mix is readily available in the markets and can be used to experiment with some more dishes too.
Originally I had purchased this spice mix to make Cajun Spiced Potatoes about which I had kept reading and have had them at a buffet spread. But the trial never happened!
It was once during last year’s lockdown that as I was preparing garlic butter prawns, I suddenly thought of adding this Cajun Spice to them to give it a twist and well, it was a hit with the family!
