Notes

This is one of our favorite dishes. My kids don't care for it spicy, so I usually leave some to the side for them with less creole seasoning and no hot sauce.
I love using my Anyday bowl to cook my rice, or to make this recipe go even faster I will buy the frozen rice and cook it in the microwave.
You can store this in the fridge for up to 4 days. I've never had enough leftovers to freeze it, but you could freeze the leftovers by allowing them to come to room temp and placing them in a freezer bag or container. Thaw and reheat to serve.
Don't have shrimp? You can use chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes instead, just be sure to adjust the cook time as needed.
