On the weekends I like to stay home and watch suspenseful movies with my significant other. I make appetizers to enjoy while watching a movie, and we love Cajun food. I made this recipe because it was so easy, and quick.

I also made my own Cajun seasoning, which it’s spicy but not too spicy, just that perfect kick.

This is a quick recipe, that won’t take too much time to prepare and cook, in 10 minutes you will have a tasty appetizer for up to 4 people.

Enjoy!

It says 1/2 lemon juice. Is that a half of a cup lemon juice or what?

  I'm sure it's the juice from 1/2 of a lemon.
