Step 1

Brown the sausage over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes in a large pot that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and thyme; cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Add the rice, broth, tomatoes and their juice, clam juice, and turmeric; mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, the rice is tender, and no liquid remains.
