Details
Preparation
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven (I used a stock pot) over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, and sausage; sauté 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Add rice and the next 7 ingredients (through bay leaf); cook 2 minutes. Add broth, water, tomato paste, hot pepper sauce, and diced tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Add shrimp; cook 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Stir in parsley.
(The recipe I did is in the parenthesis. It makes a HUGE amount. My shrimp was all frozen in a block so that’s why I increased the recipe. The broasted chicken leftovers were a good addition also. I shared it with a few folks and still have a large amount left. So far I’ve gotten rave reviews so give it a try. I rarely follow a recipe exactly hence the additions and omissions.)
