Popeyes-style Cajun Rice image

Seeing Bonnies Popeye's chicken got me thinking of their dirty rice. So I looked up copycat dirty rice for popeye's and there were two. each saying they were the real. This one has the stuff I remember in it and the other is easy so I will put both here and you can try both. I believe the first is the real one.
