For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce along with the Cajun seasoning.
Fresh okra can be used in place of frozen. If using fresh, increase the cooking time slightly to ensure it is tender.
If you don't have andouille sausage, you can substitute with other smoked sausage.
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
