Notes
Prefer a different protein? Kielbasa and turkey smoked sausage both work well, or swap in chicken or shrimp (see FAQ for timing).
Long-grain rice is recommended, but Basmati or Jasmine will work in a pinch, just expect a slightly different texture.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
