Here is how you make Cajun fried rice:

Cook rice and set aside. Heat oilve oil in pan, saute sausage. I like to get some brown on the edges. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add onion, bell pepper ( I sometimes add a bit more red bell pepper for color) and celery. Saute veg until translucent, add the cajun seasoning. Add the shrimp and sausage to the veg and then add the whole bag of crawfish tail meat (4 servings). Stir veg and meat together until all are well mixed, and then add the rice, cilantro and green onion and mix well. Heat for 4-6 minutes or until all ingredients come together. Sprinkle with additional green onion and cilantro. NOTE: Add additional seasoning as needed for your taste. Our family likes to add a tablespoon or two of Louisiana Red Pepper sauce (or Frank's Red Hot Original) for added heat and acidity. Also, feel free to add juice of a lemon.Serving Size: Makes 8, 1.5-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8.0Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MONIELUVT.
