Popeyes Cajun Rice - Copycat created by Mimi C.

This is my all time favorite! Forget about side dish... This is a meal on its own! Everytime I visit a Popeye's I make sure to always get this. Goes great with fried chicken! Feel free to add or take away any ingredients to make it to your liking!

Everything came out good. But I didn't get the darkness like the rice at popeyes usually looks.
