Steps

• Marinate the shrimp
• In a bowl, combine the shrimp, Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
• Let the shrimp marinate for 15 minutes.
• Cook the rice
• Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
• In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, then reduce the heat to low.
• Cover the saucepan and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff the rice with a fork.
• Prepare the vegetables
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

• Cook the shrimp and assemble the dish
• Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the marinated shrimp to the other side.

• Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir everything together until well combined.
