Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (optional)
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat with spices. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Return the sausage to the pot, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In the last 5–7 minutes, add the shrimp and stir until fully cooked. Garnish with green onions and parsley before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the shrimp to prevent rubbery texture. Adjust seasoning throughout the cooking process.
