Ingredients

• 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz andouille sausage, sliced
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 wedges lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced andouille sausage to the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to release the sausage's flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Add the rice, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the shrimp. Cover the pot and let the shrimp cook in the residual heat for 5-7 minutes, or until they are opaque and cooked through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Old Bay seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve hot.
