Notes

Leftovers: If you have leftover cooked rice in the fridge then you can reheat it and add it to the bowl instead. The same goes for beans. Reheat leftover beans or canned beans if you are short on time.
Beans: Feel free to use any cooked beans of your choice for this recipe. For example, you can add black beans or pinto beans instead.
Cajun seasoning: Use low-sodium Cajun seasoning to control the salt content in the shrimp.
Shrimp: If you are using frozen shrimp then make sure you allow it to thaw completely before preparing.
