I like this because it really is simple to make but also because more of your special tastes can be added without taking away from the original flavor of the dish....colorful.

YUMMMMMY! My husband even gave me the nod to make it again. I served it with Emeril's yellow rice recipe on the food network since I didn't have any yellow rice mix available.
I can't wait to make it again!
