Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning in a small bowl.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a deep 12" skillet with a lid, Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, celery, and pepper and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in the rice and Cajun seasoning then pour in the chicken broth. Stir and bring it to a low boil. Once boiling cover with the lid and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 10 minutes.
- While the rice cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Put them in a bowl and toss together with a tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning. Dump the shrimp on top of the rice, spread it into a single layer, and cover with the lid again.
- Cook for another 5 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque and the rice is tender. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Taste for seasoning, then top with sliced scallions and serve.
