I have a friend with Celiac's disease and I serve this when she comes over for lunch. It lets her have something besides meat and potatoes. It's become a requested recipe. —Ruth Miller, Boyertown, Pennsylvania

I've made this quite a few times and usually double it. It has just the right amount of heat and is super quick to make.

Ruth Miller...Thank you! I put off making this because in this household shrimp is rarely served but now it just may become a regular thing. So good.

This is one of the best shrimp recipes that we have had. So easy and tasty. It is a keeper. We sure look forward to having it again.

Incredibly fast with a wonderful blend of creamy, sweet and spicy flavors as well as interesting color and texture. My husband, not a shrimp fan like me, praised this dish without prompting. Give it a try for a quick family meal that is healthy, too. As we begin to face health issues, we thank you for sharing this delightful little recipe!

Really quick & easy to make. I want to try it with different veggies as they come into season.

A correction to my previous comment - meant to say that the Cajun "holy trinity" used in cooking is Bell pepper, onion & celery !!
This is a tasty, quick recipe - BUT - to call it Cajun Shrimp & Rice is misleading - you would NOT find this recipe served anywhere in Louisiana. I'm from La and we Cajuns definitely don't use snow peas ! Cajun recipes will always use the "holy trinity" of onion, garlic and celery in sauteing.

This is an excellent recipe but I only make it when my son, who is allergic to seafood, is not here. It's a keeper recipe though and we will be making it many more times.

Easy and delicious recipe to prepare on a busy night! The cajun seasoning makes this a spicey dish, but my family loves the taste!
