This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra Cajun seasoning and it was much better.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I used chicken broth instead of shrimp stock. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the rice.
