Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

12 oz andouille sausage, sliced

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 green bell pepper, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup long grain white rice

2 1/4 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 green onions, chopped

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until just pink. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the rice. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to toast the rice.

Pour in chicken broth, add Cajun seasoning and paprika. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the rice with a fork, then gently stir in the cooked sausage and shrimp.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions and parsley before serving.
