How To Make Cajun Shrimp and Rice Skillet
A Cajun shrimp and rice skillet is the perfect way to jump-start any new season, but my favorite time to enjoy this meal is Fall. This Cajun skillet is cooked with all types of flavors. Cajun seasoning is number one. The shrimp is seasoned just right and then smothered in a bed of rice and peppers.
