Notes

I use homemade Cajun Seasoning. It is mildly hot and there is no salt in it. If you are using bottled seasoning, you might have to increase or decrease the amount of seasoning depending on how spicy you prefer.
Most of the bottled seasoning has salt in it, so you don't have to add extra salt.
Here is my homemade Cajun seasoning recipe, in case you want to give a try.
Zucchini and pepper don't take long to cook. I prefer a slight crunch to my veggies instead of mussy. But if you are using any harder veggies like carrot, potato, or beans, cook before adding
