Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

  4. 4

    Add Shrimp

    Stir in the shrimp and green onions, cover, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
