Stacked Shrimp Dirty Rice

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger meat and ground pork sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Add diced onion, green and red bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Stir in Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked rice and toss everything together until well combined. Keep warm on low heat.

Step 4: In a separate skillet, quickly sear the shrimp over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Season lightly with Cajun seasoning if desired.

Step 5: Plate the dirty rice in a stacked or molded shape (use a ramekin or small bowl to help if desired). Top with seared shrimp and garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
