This Blackened Cajun Spiced White Fish Shakshuka recipe is a great idea for those who love seafood and fish. Shakshuka is a classic North African and Middle Eastern dish and it can be eaten for breakfast or any time of the day. Cooking the eggs directly in that fiery sauce adds extra flavor. Commonly used spices are cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg.
