For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the sauce while it simmers. Fresh crabmeat and shrimp can be used in place of canned, adjust cooking times accordingly. Serve over rice, pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Other white fish such as cod, halibut, or snapper can be substituted for grouper. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference.
