Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add 1 tbsp of oil and quickly cook the shrimp 2-3 mins. Remove and set aside.


Step 2

In the same pot, add the onion, peppers, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and seasonings, then cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 30 seconds.


Step 3

Stir in the rice and let it toast slightly for about 1 minute. Then add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and stir well to combine.


Step 4

Add the cooked sausage, top with a bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.


Step 5

Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaf. Add back in the cooked shrimp, a squeeze of lemon, sprinkle with parsley, serve and enjoy!
