Dirty Rice

Brown ¾ - 1 lb of ground pork. Crumble it up good. Add
½ cup of diced onion,
½ cup diced celery, and
½ cup diced green pepper. Continue until soft and drain. Then add
2 ¼ cups hot water,
1 vegetable bullion cube,
1 can of tiny shrimp (drained),
2 Tbl butter, and
5 – 6 tsp Cajun Spice Blend*. Stir well then add
1 cup long-grained rice. Simmer covered on low until done.

Cajun Spice Blend

Of course, this can vary, but make up a bunch and keep it on hand. Pulverize it all in a spice/coffee grinder. Also if you use commercial blends, be aware that they contain much salt.

2 Tbl onion powder
2 Tbl garlic powder
2 Tbl dried oregano
2 Tbl sweet paprika
1 Tbl black pepper
1 Tbl red pepper
1 Tbl celery seed
