*How to Serve and Store Cajun Rice
This hearty Cajun rice recipe is good just on its own or with a green or tomato/cucumber salad, okra, Swiss chard, collards, or some other freshly-steamed veggie and some cornbread. It also goes well with grilled or fried chicken.

**Always allow the dish to cool down completely before storing it. This rice will keep in an airtight container in your fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze it for up to three months. Let it thaw before reheating in your microwave on low, so you don’t dry out the beef.
