As the editor of FaveSouthernRecipes, I love all types of Southern cuisine, but I especially love Cajun dishes. You just can’t beat the spicy personality that characterizes Cajun cuisine. I have unfortunately never been to Louisiana, but these dishes will certainly satisfy my Cajun cravings until I can get there.
