    What a name, huh? Well, let me tell you, this is one of those dishes that is packed with so much flavor, you will definitely be going back for seconds!

    A few weeks ago, I was in the mood for Cajun and decided to whip this up for dinner. Everything came together in no time, and we ended up having plenty for lunch leftovers the next day! Not only is this meal inexpensive, but you can also change it up to add as little or as much spice as you want!!

    Enjoy!!

      Wonder if you could makes this with riced cauliflower instead to make it keto-friendly, and the spices sound like you could hide the cauli (my family is suspicious these days) . How much rice do you end up with?

        I don’t see why that wouldn’t work great too! I ended up with about 2-3 cups of rice with this recipe! It served my family of 5 (I have 3 kids)
