2 Teaspoons Cajun Seasoning is Plenty Flavor

Rice, Shrimp, Scallions, Plum Tomatoes, Garlic, Olive Oil, Parsley, Cajun Seasoning....   It was even better the next day, after marinating in the fridge.

Ingredients:
1 cup white rice
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1 pound frozen shrimp, tails on
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 bunches scallions, chopped
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions:
1. Cook rice, set aside (1 cup dry should make 3 cups cooked rice)
2. Heat oil in a large skillet and throw in garlic, wait 1 minute until you can smell the garlic cooking
3. Cook defrosted shrimp with the garlic and add cajun seasoning
4. When the shrimp are nearly finished, add scallions and allow them to brown a little before adding tomatoes
5. Pour in rice and allow it to warm back up if it is no longer hot
6. Add parsley and serve.

I always seem to forget that cooked tomatoes turn into soup, and the liquid from the semi-frozen shrimp and the tomatoes made for a lot of "soup" leftover in the pan. To concentrate the flavors of the cajun seasonings, make sure the shrimp are completely defrosted and don't cook the tomatoes for more than a minute or two before adding the rice.
