I discovered this recipe when I moved to New Orleans fourteen years ago. It is one of my go-to dishes when I don't have a lot of of time to cook and it always goes over well at a pot luck.

I love rice but I prefer to add vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, carrots, onions, and hot peppers, but you can substitute any other vegetables. Rice freezes really well so I like to make a big batch and then freeze in 1-2 cup amounts.

Firstly, you may notice a difference in my recipe in contrast to the "traditional" one. Chicken giblets are bit rich for my palette and the chicken thighs to me are a better substitute and still make it "dirty". We don't have the same type of sausage (Andouille) that we get in Texas/Louisiana here in New Zealand, so the mince is a nice substitute and the shrimp (prawns)...well why not?!? Everything is better with shrimp.

I love using leftovers and making something different I don't like wasting food.

A dinner party was planned but one of the main courses didn't make it.

My husband loves when I cook for him. He told me I should start to post my recipes so what the heck.. IMA give it a try . hope u all like

A super quick meal .

Felt like something different! Perhaps serve with a little bit of cinnamon, sugar, milk

I can eat this as a meal all by itself. It is also good as a side dish. You can spice it up as much as you like to your taste. #Cajun
