Method
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are well coated.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate the frozen peas and carrots, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
- Pour in the soy sauce and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Gently fold the cooked shrimp back into the rice mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley before serving.
