    Incredible!
    My husband and I LOVE this recipe. I did make one change. We don't like Cajun seasoning so I use minced garlic instead. So, so good!!! - 5/5/20

    i liked it alot. having lived in Louisiana it was different but the flavors were there. i added cayene instead of cajun seasoning. I exchanged tofu for shrimp. merely because i needed to use the tofu and had no shrimp handy. this is actually my breakfast today cause i woke up wanting couscous! - 6/1/12

    Yummm. Good alternative to white rice. Added more seasoning at the end, 1/2 tbsp of adobo, 1/2 tsp of onion powder and a dab more of cajun to give it more flavor. - 11/30/08
