Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound andouille sausage sliced in 1/4 inch slices
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless and skinless, cut in small pieces (chicken breast works as well)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 talks celery diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium bell pepper chopped (I used red and green)
- 1½ cups white rice I used jasmine (long grain)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 14 ounce crushed tomatoes
- 3½ cups chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added, or water
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined, I left the tails on
Garnish
- 2 green onions chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet or a dutch oven heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the andouille sausage and chicken thighs and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sausage has started to brown. Transfer to a plate. Add the 2 tbsp of butter and melt. To it add the onion, celery, peppers and garlic. Cook for 5 min until the onion softens. A
- Stir in the rice and cook for a couple minutes just until it gets a bit toasty. Add dried oregano, bay leaves, salt, pepper, hot sauce, cajun seasoning, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth to the pot and stir. Cook until it comes to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn down the heat to medium low, cover the Dutch oven and cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked through. Stir every 5 minutes or so to make sure the rice doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the shrimp and okra and continue cooking until the shrimp is cooked through and pink.
- Remove the bay leaves and discard. Add the sausage and chicken back to the pot and adjust with seasoning if needed, such as salt, pepper or additional cajun seasoning.
- Serve garnished with green onions and parsley.
