Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 1 lb shrimp (deveined)
  • 1 cup smoked sausage (sliced)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (chopped)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell peppers, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant.
  2. Cook Sausage and Garlic: Add minced garlic and sliced smoked sausage to the skillet. Cook together until the sausage is golden brown and the garlic is aromatic.
  3. Add Shrimp and Seasoning: Incorporate the deveined shrimp and Cajun seasoning into the pan. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through.
  4. Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the uncooked long grain rice, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to simmer. Cover the skillet tightly to cook the rice thoroughly.
  5. Rest and Garnish: After the rice has absorbed the liquid and is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in chopped green onions and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use smoked sausage for authentic flavor; Andouille sausage works great.
  • Make sure shrimp are deveined and peeled for best texture.
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Letting the rice rest after cooking ensures fluffier texture.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs to add brightness to the dish.
