I followed the receipe, Instead of using the different dry spices I used a cajun seasoning that had all the dry spices in it and seasoned to my taste. Spice is called Cajun Kick so delicious and not salty. You can purchase on Amazon I dont get any compensation for this, just wanted to share. Also, I didnt add 2 cups of broth to the meat mixture just one cup there. Didnt want the rice to b mushy. Otherwise this receipe is delicious
