Notes
I love red beans and rice and I especially love this lightened-up version made with shrimp! It is made with simple ingredients and flavored perfectly with spices you probably have on hand! You can adjust the cayenne to be as spicy or as mild as you like. Serve this with brown rice, or riced cauliflower! Enjoy!
