Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Wash and dry all produce. 
  • To a medium pot, add half the broth concentrate, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. 
  • Once boiling, add rice. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 13-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2 -inch pieces.
  • Cut celery crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
  • Roughly chop spinach. (TIP: Place spinach in a bowl, then roughly chop using a pair of kitchen shears or scissors!)
Cook bacon and prep shrimp
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-7 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.**
  • While bacon cooks, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp. Pat dry with paper towels. If desired, remove and discard shrimp tails.
  • Remove the pan with bacon from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
Sear shrimp
4
  • Add shrimp to a shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle half the flour over shrimp, then toss to coat.
  • Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) bacon fat from the pan and reheat over medium.
  • When hot, add shrimp. Cook for 1-3 min, until golden and just pink.** 
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Make stew
5
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-low. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, celery, peppers and green onion whites. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Sprinkle Cajun Spice Blend and remaining flour over top. Stir to coat.
  • Add pesto, Worcestershire sauce, remaining broth concentrate, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 3/4 cup (1 cup) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and veggies soften. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with fork. Add spinach. Stir until wilted, 30 sec.
  • Cut or tear bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Add shrimp and half the bacon to stew. Stir to combine. (TIP: For a thinner sauce, add water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.) 
  • Divide rice and stew between bowls.
  • Sprinkle remaining bacon and remaining green onions over top.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Sauce had a nice flavour, but some found the overall dish less flavorful than expected.
  • Suggestions: Consider using chicken thighs instead of shrimp for a different protein option.
