**Season Right:** With our Cajun Seasoning, a little goes a long way. However, for this dish, don’t be afraid to season generously. Remember, you can always adjust according to your palate!
**Presentation:** For that gourmet touch, use a piping bag to fill the egg whites. No piping bag? A ziplock with the corner snipped off works wonders too!
