A medley of Cajun spices—Kinder’s Seafood Blend, Slap Ya Mama, garlic powder, black pepper—lends a bold, Southern kick. Melted butter enriches the seafood, while a final shower of shredded cheese bubbles golden in the oven. Every forkful delivers seafood in every bite, all baked until hot and bubbly for a deliciously comforting meal.
