For a deeper flavor, consider using smoked paprika in addition to or in place of some of the cayenne pepper. Long-grain rice works best in this recipe to avoid a gummy texture. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spice. Start with less and add more to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for added freshness.
