Creating the flavorful Cajun Shrimp & Rice Skillet is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
3. Add Garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
4. Stir in Rice: Add the long-grain rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat the rice with oil and incorporate the vegetables.
5. Pour in Broth: Slowly add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
6. Season the Dish: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
7. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and most liquid is absorbed.
8. Add Shrimp and Corn: Gently fold in the shrimp and frozen corn, covering the skillet again. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
9. Fluff the Rice: Remove the skillet from heat. Fluff the rice with a fork and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
10. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
