Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice under cold water until clear. In a medium saucepan, combine with 2 cups of chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce to low, simmering for about 18-20 minutes. Fluff with fork and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced Andouille sausage, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 diced onion, 1 diced bell pepper, and 1 cup of diced celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender.
- Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
- Return the sausage to the skillet, add 1 pound of peeled shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Gently fold in the cooked rice, adding 1-2 cups of chicken broth if the mixture seems dry. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with sliced green onions or parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes
Ensure shrimp are thawed before cooking and adjust Cajun seasoning gradually for best taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
