CAJUN SHRIMP



Cajun Shrimp image

These zippy shrimp bring a lot of pizazz to the table. Use as much or as little cayenne pepper as you'd like, depending on your family's tastes. We love ours served alongside rice pilaf. -Donna Thomason, El Paso, Texas

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.
