I recently was gifted this Cajun base from a neighbor. The instructions were very simple. I just needed some butter, the cajun base, a couple cups of water, and peeled shrimp. After about 40 minutes of cooking, I was able to eat a full meal. The base smelled pretty good. I don’t think I should’ve let it cool for 15 minutes – like it probably tasted better when it was hotter. The sauce was relatively thick and after eating a lot of the sauce, it started tasting boring – like a lot of the same flavor with nothing cutting the fat. I think that there was too much sauce for a single person. I put most of the sauce on my plate before I realized that. If this was paired with some other food like a baguette instead of rice, I think that would’ve been more fun. It was enjoyable enough for me to make this again if I had the base, but I don’t think I would spend that much money to buy the base myself. I also didn’t season any of the food – I wasn’t sure if the base took care of that for me.
