Easy Cajun Shrimp and Rice

My fiance and I had a late night the other night, came home and were exhausted. I guess we need to get more sun or something because this has been a regular thing lately and we're not used to it. Yes we're mainly shut-ins but we're not lazy. Supposedly it happens to everyone, the lazy bug, but that doesn't mean your recipes need to suffer along with your chore list. There are some easier ways to go about dinner without sacrificing taste. So I came up with this recipe, short, sweet and simple but satisfying:

Easy Cajun Shrimp and Rice

Ingredients:

• Half of an onion diced
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 can drained black beans
• 8 oz medium size to large size shrimp
• 1 tbsp creole seasoning
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 tbsp butter
  

Direction:

1. Cook rice according to packages instructions
2. In a saute pan fry your shrimp, onions and garlic in the butter. (if your using frozen shrimp thaw them in the microwave then drain them of excess liquid)
3. When rice is done add it to your shrimp mixture, along with the black beans. 
4. Then mix in your creole seasoning, I used two tablespoons and it was SPICY. So add as much as you can handle.
   

This little recipe doesn't need sauces, is super quick and really nourishing. Its a good one to use if you're in a rush or just don't want to spend much time in the kitchen. Sometimes simple, is just better.
