How to Make Sauteed Cajun Shrimp
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Add 1 cup long-grain rice, stir to combine, and bring back to a boil.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) and cook until crisp-tender, about 4-6 minutes.
- Add 1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced (or your preferred Cajun sausage), and cook for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until pink and opaque.
- Season the shrimp and sausage with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top with the shrimp and sausage mixture. Drizzle with any pan juices.
