CAJUN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Drizzle a skillet with olive oil and turn on the stove (medium heat).
• Chop 4 slices of bacon into small pieces (about 1/4 square inch -- as small as you can get). I use my kitchen scissors for this, because bacon is a pain to cut! Put all the bacon into the skillet.
• Season the bacon pieces with garlic pepper. Use quite a bit here (I don't like measurements, so use your own judgement!).
• While the bacon is cooking, get two cups of Minute Rice and put it in a large measuring cup (or a large mug, or anything that holds 2 cups) and COVER rice with water.
• When the bacon is cooked, turn down the stove to low and pour the rice and water into the skillet.
• Heat 3 chicken buillon cubes in one cup of water. (Put it in the microwave for about one minute, or just long enough for the cubes to dissolve). Pour the mixture into the skillet.
• Add cajun seasoning, chopped onion, more garlic pepper, or any other seasoning to taste. Cover the skillet and adjust stove to medium.
• You must stir quite often because the bottom of the rice will start to get crisp from the frying. Don't worry! The crispy parts are really good--just stir them in so it doesn't burn! The dish is complete when the rice is tender and golden.
• I recommend trying this with some blackened chicken or fish.

CAJUN CRAWFISH FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the celery, onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add the crawfish and sausage; cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir in the scallions. Top with cilantro.

CAJUN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat.
• When the oil is hot, add the sausage in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
• Add the chopped shrimp to a plate or mixing bowl and season with the Cajun seasoning blend.
• Add 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and decrease the heat to medium.
• Add the onion, cauliflower rice, and salt and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent and any residual moisture from the cauliflower has cooked off.
• Add the seasoned shrimp, scallion whites (reserve the greens for garnish), and garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the garlic is fragrant and the scallions start to soften. It's OK if the shrimp isn't completely cooked through at this stage.
• Push everything to one side of the pan.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan along with the brown rice and soy sauce.
• Stir to incorporate, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes so the bottom starts to become crispy.
• Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, just until the rice is heated through.
• Push the rice to the side of the pan with the cooked vegetables and pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Use a spatula to scramble them until they are just barely cooked.
• Add the reserved andouille sausage to the pan and stir everything to incorporate.
• If needed, season with more salt. Serve immediately, garnished with scallion greens and (optional) hot sauce.
