Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 orange bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 3/4 cups chicken stock or 2 3/4 cups water
1 lb large peeled and deveined shrimp
1 lemon, juiced plus lemon wedges for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons sliced scallions (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and peppers and cook until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Season with half of the Cajun seasoning and then stir in the rice. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover with a lid, place in the oven and cook until the stock has absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and remove the lid.
  • Place the shrimp on top along with the remaining Cajun seasoning, and replace the lid. Return to the oven and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes or until the shrimp is fully cooked. Remove from the oven, remove lid and gently fold in the lemon juice and parsley. Garnish with sliced scallions and lemon wedges to serve.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the rice was flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. I also added some extra vegetables, such as broccoli and carrots.
