  5. I made this for dinner this evening and it was so incredibly delicious! I incorporated Old Bay seasoning in my water while cooking the rice and also used it in place of the salt and pepper the recipe called for. This is a new favorite and I cannot wait to make it again for friends and family! Thank you so very much for sharing!
