Shrimp and Ground Beef Dirty Rice Recipe
I am a huge fan of Southern Cajun cooking. This recipe is a little bit different from your traditional dirty rice recipes, but the flavor is amazing and it has the perfect amount of spice. The cooking time is very fast and before you know it, you have a pretty healthy and hearty dinner! It would be great for a weeknight meal or a lunch on the weekend. Enjoy!!
