Cajun Shrimp

This is one of my go-to recipes for a quick and easy dinner. The only time consuming part is the cooking of the brown rice. I usually cook it early in the day and toss it in the fridge until I'm ready to cook dinner. 

3 Tbsp olive oil
3 - 4 cloves garlic minced

1 small onion, diced
2 Tsp Cajun seasoning
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
Kosher salt and pepper 

2 medium tomatoes, chopped or a pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups cooked brown rice
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add garlic and onions. Saute until onions are translucent. Add Cajun seasoning and shrimp. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Stir in rice and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for 3 minutes. Top with chopped parsley.

Review - Super easy and everyone loves it. There's nothing crazy in this dish, so the kids willingly eat it. That's always a plus. Now you could make white rice to speed up the cooking time. I'll leave that decision up to you.  I usually serve this dish with a salad.
