Chef John's Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya

Ingredients

  • 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cups long-grain rice

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Once simmering, add the rice, stir well, and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
