Method
Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
Cooking
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Add the Rice
Stir in the long-grain white rice and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
Add the Broth and Seasonings
Pour in the chicken broth, add the bay leaf, and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Cook the Shrimp
After the rice is cooked, gently fold in the seasoned shrimp. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Finish and Serve
Remove the bay leaf, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
