Cajun Prawn & Wild Rice

Our Cajun Prawn and Wild Rice is a flavour-bomb, one-pan knockout. Plump, tender prawns are seared and tossed in a bold, rich, and smoky Cajun spice blend, then combined with a substantial, nutty wild rice medley. It’s a weeknight wonder that sacrifices nothing on taste—delivering a deep, complex and irresistible heat in minutes with almost zero clean up.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 200g King Prawns
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups Wild Rice, rinsed
• 1 vegetable stock cube
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 8 tsps Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning 
• Sea salt & ground black pepper
• 1 t bsp minced, fresh parsley 
• Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

• Heat 2 tbsps of olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add 4 tsps Cajun seasoning and stir until it begins to sizzle, for 30-60 seconds.
• Add the diced onion and pepper and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft, frepeat after adding 
• Stir in the rice, coating with oil and seasoning. Then add 4 cups of water, stir again, and cover with a lid. Bring the rice to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft.
• While the rice is cooking, toss the shrimp with 2 tbsps of oil and 4 tsps of Cajun seasoning. 
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tbsps of oil.  When the oil is warm, add a third of the shrimp, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the shrimp for 3 mins, and then flip them to the other side for another 3 mins. Remove prawn and cover the with foil and keep warm until the rice is ready. Don’t wash your skillet yet!
• When the rice is finished cooking, heat the skillet and add the rice and shrimp for a few mins. Serve warm directly from the pan or transfer to a large serving bowl. Garnish with minced parsley and fresh lemon juice.
