Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Tbsp oil
4 oz smoked sausage (andouille or similar)
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
1/2 large red pepper, chopped (or use the whole thing!)
2-3 stalk(s) celery, sliced
4 clove garlic, chopped
15 oz (1 can) diced tomatoes
2 tsp seasoned salt
1 Tbsp chili powder (or paprika)
4 c chicken stock
1 1/2 c rice, long grain white
1 lb shrimp, cleaned (tails can stay on)
2 Tbsp green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

1. Heat oil. Saute sausage until lightly browned. Remove.
2. Add onions, celery and peppers to pan. Saute until softened. Add garlic, saute another minute.
3. Stir in tomatoes, seasonings and stock. Return sausage to pan. Pour rice on top. Cover, simmer for 15 minutes without opening pan. Stir. Add uncooked shrimp and cook for 5 more minutes or until shrimp is pink.
4. Garnish with green onion. Serve with hot sauce and sherry, if desired.
5. PS Substitute 3/4 to 1 lb. chicken, cut into bite side pieces, instead of shrimp. If so, saute with the sausage and add back in with sausage where indicated.
