Cajun recipes

I'm doing a french project on Cajun food and we get extra credit if we cook food. Does anyone know any good cajun recipes?

Pan Seared Grouper with Tropical Salsa
2 cups cubed mango
2 cups cubed pineapple
2 cups cubed papaya
1 cup diced roasted peppers
1 bunch diced cilantro leaves
2 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons diced jalapenos
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 to 10 ounces grouper fillet per person
Cajun spice, for coating
Mixed greens, for serving
To make the tropical salsa mix all ingredients except oil, grouper and Cajun spice. Let it sit while you prepare the grouper.
To make the grouper, in a cast iron frying pan, heat olive oil until smoking. Coat both sides of grouper with Cajun spice. Place coated grouper in pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness of course, until done. Transfer grouper to a serving dish, placing on top of mixed greens. Spoon Tropical Salsa on top of fish.
Mmmmmm good! And easy to make too!
Good luck!

That sounds tasty!!!! Do you have to cook this in a class or someting? Cuz if you do, you might want to do something a bit easier. Sometimes the simpler things are the best too.
