Southern classic with endless possibilities. Customize to your heart's content!
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 pound smoked sausage (such as Conecuh©), cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • salt to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)
Instructions:
  • In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook for 2 minutes. Mix in the onion, bell pepper, and celery, season with salt and Cajun seasoning. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 6 to 8 minutes. Toss in the rice until well coated, then add tomatoes, garlic, chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • After simmering for 20 minutes, gently add the shrimp and continue to cook for 10 minutes without a cover until they turn pink and opaque. Take the pot off the heat, rest for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
