Cajun Fried Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the butter, olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the Cajun seasoning and shrimp and cook, stirring, until the shrimp begin to curl, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes and scallions to the skillet and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the rice and 1/4 cup water and continue to cook until the rice is warmed through and the shrimp are opaque, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the parsley and serve with lemon, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the celery, onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and Cajun seasoning; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add the crawfish and sausage; cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir in the scallions. Top with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the rice and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium high; stir in 2 cups water and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low; cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and set aside.
• Wrap the tofu in paper towels and set on a plate. Weigh down with a bowl; let drain 10 minutes. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the bell peppers, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the peppers start browning, 4 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the tofu to the skillet in a single layer. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Stir in the bell peppers, barbecue sauce and scallions. Stir the parsley into the rice; top with the tofu.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute rice in oil until lightly browned. Add the green pepper, onion and celery; saute for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the water, broth, tomato, salt if desired, cumin and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in pork; heat through.

Steps:

• In small bowl combine soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and 2 tsp Tabasco.
• Mix well; stir in crawfish and set aside.
• In another bowl beat eggs with 1/4 tsp salt, remaining sesame oil, and Tabasco.
• Heat wok or large skillet until hot.
• Add 1 tbsp oil and crawfish mixture.
• Stir-fry 3-4 minutes or until crawfish are done.
• Remove from wok and set aside.
• Add another tbsp oil to wok; add onion.
• Stir-fry 1-2 minutes and remove.
• Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in wok; add egg mixture.
• Stir-fry 1 minute or until done.
• Add cold rice and stir-fry 3-4 minutes.
• Add everything to wok and cook 2 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Drizzle a skillet with olive oil and turn on the stove (medium heat).
• Chop 4 slices of bacon into small pieces (about 1/4 square inch -- as small as you can get). I use my kitchen scissors for this, because bacon is a pain to cut! Put all the bacon into the skillet.
• Season the bacon pieces with garlic pepper. Use quite a bit here (I don't like measurements, so use your own judgement!).
• While the bacon is cooking, get two cups of Minute Rice and put it in a large measuring cup (or a large mug, or anything that holds 2 cups) and COVER rice with water.
• When the bacon is cooked, turn down the stove to low and pour the rice and water into the skillet.
• Heat 3 chicken buillon cubes in one cup of water. (Put it in the microwave for about one minute, or just long enough for the cubes to dissolve). Pour the mixture into the skillet.
• Add cajun seasoning, chopped onion, more garlic pepper, or any other seasoning to taste. Cover the skillet and adjust stove to medium.
• You must stir quite often because the bottom of the rice will start to get crisp from the frying. Don't worry! The crispy parts are really good--just stir them in so it doesn't burn! The dish is complete when the rice is tender and golden.
• I recommend trying this with some blackened chicken or fish.

Steps:

• saute vegetables in butter over medium heat until soft.
• add all other ingredients and stir well bring to a boil reduce the heat and cover.
• turn heat to low for 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In fry pan stir in ground beef, bell pepper and cook on medium-high heat until beef looses its pink color and bell pepper is soft. Remove excess grease.
• Turn temperature down to medium or medium-low. Add remaining ingredients, stir and cook together until ground beef is completely cooked and liquid is gone about 25 to 35 minutes.
• More Creole seasoning and red pepper may be added for that Cajun at Heart. I like to use Tony Chacheres's.
