Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For reheating, add a splash of chicken broth to prevent dryness and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve your Shrimp Dirty Rice Skillet with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious juices.
- To boost the flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the Cajun seasoning for a deeper, smokier taste.
