Recipes:
Cajun Shrimp with Rice & Loaded Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup long-grain rice
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Fresh parsley, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
For Loaded Baked Potatoes:
4 medium potatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
1 tbsp chives, chopped
Instructions:
Cook the rice: In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Season the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Make the loaded baked potatoes: While the shrimp cooks, bake the potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and bake the potatoes for about 45 minutes or until tender. Once baked, slice them open and fluff with a fork. Top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and chives.
Serve: Plate the Cajun shrimp on a bed of rice and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley. Serve the loaded baked potatoes on the side.
This dish packs tons of flavor with the Cajun shrimp and the cheesy, savory potatoes. Perfect for a satisfying meal!
