This Rice-A-Roni salad is great for a potluck. Variations may include adding more veggies or using shrimp instead of chicken. If you're careful about the amount of dressing you stir in, this salad can be chilled and unmolded onto a plate.

Sheet Pan New Orleans-Style Shrimp
One of my favorite meals ever is the BBQ Shrimp from a restaurant in New Orleans. Don't let the name fool you: the shrimp isn't grilled with a sweet barbecue sauce; it's simmered in a butter and Worcestershire sauce. This sheet pan version is reminiscent of these classic New Orleans-style shrimp flavors, but made much more quickly. You'll want to have some French bread handy to sop up the extra sauce!
