  1. Cajun Chicken Pasta This dish is a classic for a reason. It's creamy, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying. To make it budget-friendly, use chicken thighs instead of breasts and substitute heavy cream with evaporated milk. You'll still get the same delicious taste without the added cost.

  2. Jambalaya Jambalaya is a one-pot wonder that's perfect for feeding a crowd. To keep it affordable, use smoked sausage instead of shrimp and chicken. You can also add in any leftover vegetables you have on hand, like bell peppers or celery.

  3. Red Beans and Rice Red beans and rice is a staple in Cajun cuisine. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy on the wallet. Use dried beans instead of canned to save even more money. You can also add in some sliced sausage or ham for extra protein.

  4. Gumbo Gumbo is a complex dish with many ingredients, but that doesn't mean it has to be expensive. Use chicken thighs instead of breasts and add in some okra to stretch the recipe further. You can also use canned tomatoes instead of fresh to save money.
