Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the shrimp, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink.
  5. Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with green onions and parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce while cooking.
  • Substitute the shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
