1/2 cup of diced onion
1/4 cup of diced celery
1/4 cup of diced green bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons of butter
1/4 teaspoon of paprika
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon of dried basil

For the shrimp:

2 teaspoons of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of butter

INSTRUCTIONS:


• In a pot over medium heat, add butter, onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Saute the vegetables for about 5 minutes and then add the seasonings (paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, and basil). Stir in the rice and toss well to coat.

• Once the grains are lightly golden, stir in the chicken broth. Cover and let simmer to cook for about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked and all the liquid has absorbed, fluff with a fork.

• Rub the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until seared but not fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

• Add garlic to the pan, sauté for a minute, and then stir in the butter. Pour the white wine, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Allow to slightly thicken.
