• 1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked white rice, long-grain
• 28 oz canned tomatoes, (peeled, whole - broken up)
• 14 1/2 oz fat free chicken broth, and reduced-sodium
• 3/4 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 pound(s) uncooked shrimp, medium, peeled and deveined

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 7–8 minutes. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, 3 minutes longer.

Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, the broth, thyme, and cayenne; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the mixture and cook until just opaque in the center and all the liquid has been absorbed, 5–7 minutes longer. Yields 1 1/3 cups per serving.
