Cajun Cooking Kit
Ingredients:
– 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
– 1 onion, diced
– 1 green bell pepper, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can diced tomatoes
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
– 1 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Season the mixture with Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences, adding more Cajun seasoning for a spicier dish or more paprika for a smokier flavor.
6. Stir in the uncooked rice and return the browned andouille sausage to the skillet. Mix everything together until well combined.
7. Nestle the peeled and deveined shrimp into the rice mixture, arranging them evenly throughout the skillet.
8. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the Cajun Cooking Kit simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
9. Once the rice is fluffy and the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Give the dish a final gentle stir to incorporate all the flavors.
10. Serve the Cajun Cooking Kit hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
