This Dirty Cajun Cauliflower “Rice” is a recipe that has been around on the blog for a long time! It’s one of those recipes that make cauliflower rice really freaking awesome, and not just a soggy, bland mess. I just love cajun food because they use such big, bold seasonings that really put the wow factor on dishes. This easy weeknight meal does just that. Puts the WOW factor on boring cauliflower rice!
I hope you love this Dirty Cajun Cauliflower “Rice” as much as I do!
