Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage (chicken or turkey, 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 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (optional)
  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients before starting. Dice the vegetables, slice the sausage, and peel the shrimp for easy access during cooking.
  2. In your large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced onion, bell peppers, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Once vegetables are cooked, sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything in spices. Add the long-grain white rice to the pot. Stir until combined with other ingredients.
  4. Carefully add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (if desired). Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low.
  5. Cover the pot with a lid and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes until rice is tender. After 15 minutes into cooking time, stir in peeled shrimp.
  6. When rice is cooked, check seasoning and adjust as necessary. Remove from heat; let sit covered for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
