I think I'd probably replace the cajun seasoning with half that amount of a seasoning salt... but actually, those sound really good.

Oh, and I'd probably toss the SPAM sticks into a dry skillet to brown up and render off a bit before rolling them in the batter.

But really.... I'd totally make this recipe!

"Cajun" and "coconut" should not be in a recipe together, and "SPAM" [tm] should not be paired with either. My opinion, your mileage may vary, etc.
