Cajun-Spiced Fish Fillets Recipe – What is Cajun, and how are the dishes prepared?

Cajun cuisine comes with a long history. However, what matters to us is its delightful cooking techniques that result in spicy and traditional flavours. A combination of French and Southern cuisines, Cajun food originated from the bayous of Louisiana. It was introduced to Louisiana by the Acadian immigrants who migrated to the region around 250 years ago from Nova Scotia in Canada. They prepared foods using the wide variety of foods available on the land.

While the cooking style of the Acadians was different before their migration, they had to twist their peasant-style recipes a bit to include ingredients that were available in the new land.

They used a good number of vegetables that were cooked with meat or seafood, such as catfish, shrimp, crab, redfish and even alligator, in large pots that were prepared in a thick sauce. Cajun cuisine is often known for its traditional flavours and cooking methods, including jambalaya, boudin balls, and gumbo.
