CAJUN SHRIMP AND RICE
Yannoni Family, Stow, MA
“This dish only takes 20 minutes to prepare, which makes it the perfect meal for those hectic nights. It’s just the right blend of spicy, easy, quick and delicious!” — Yannoni Family
Preparation
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the butter, oil and garlic and heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the Cajun seasoning and shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp begin to curl, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the tomatoes and green onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender, about 1 minute. Add the rice and water and cook until the rice is warmed through and the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes more. Stir in the parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
