• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups Jasmine Rice (Fluffy rice that absorbs flavors beautifully.)

4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (Enhances flavor while keeping it healthy.)

1 lb Shrimp (Peeled and deveined for convenience.)

1 lb Andouille Sausage (Can substitute with any smoked sausage.)

1 medium Yellow Onion (Aromatic and sweet, sauté until soft.)

1 cup Bell Peppers (Mix of red, yellow, and green for visual appeal.)

4 cloves Garlic (Freshly minced for aroma.)

2 tbsp Old Bay (Adjust to taste.)

1/4 cup Green Onions or Parsley (For garnish.)

to taste Hot Sauce (Optional for added spice.)

Directions

Begin by chopping your yellow onion and bell peppers into small pieces, and mince a few cloves of garlic.

In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle in some olive oil and sauté the onions and bell peppers for about 5 minutes until they become soft.

Add the minced garlic and sliced Andouille sausage, cooking until the sausage is nicely browned and aromatic.

Stir in the fluffy jasmine rice along with the Cajun seasoning, allowing everything to cook together for about 1 minute.

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

When the rice is ready, fold in the peeled and deveined shrimp. Cover again and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Remove the skillet from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes to settle, then fluff the rice gently with a fork.

Adjust any seasonings as needed, and garnish with freshly chopped green onions or parsley.
