1 (3 1/2 oz) boil-in-bag long-grain rice
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 lbs peeled and deveined large shrimp
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning and minced garlic
1 cup frozen bell pepper stir-fry, thawed
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 cup canned Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained

Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. While the rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Sprinkle the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and toss to coat. Add the shrimp to the pan and saute 4 minutes or until done. Remove from the pan; keep warm.

In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and add the garlic, saute 30 seconds, then add the stir-fry mix, green onions and thyme; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in the cooked rice, shrimp, tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook 1 minute longer or until heated through. Serve.
