Ingredients

2 cups of cooked white rice, preferably day-old

1/2 pound of crawfish tails, peeled and deveined

1/2 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 pound of Andouille sausage, sliced

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

3. In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

5. Stir in the cooked rice, soy sauce, and Cajun seasoning, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.

6. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

8. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Variations & Tips

For a milder version, you can reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning or use a mild sausage instead of Andouille. If you prefer a bit more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños. You can also add other vegetables like peas or carrots for extra color and nutrition. If crawfish is hard to find, you can substitute with more shrimp or even chicken for a different twist.
