Shrimp And Sausage Red Rice Recipes

SAVANNAH RED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt together half the butter and half the bacon fat. Add onion, celery, and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, vinegar, bay leaves, chiles, thyme, and pepper and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for about 15 minutes. Season with salt.
• In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, melt together remaining butter and bacon fat and sauté rice until opaque, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 4 cups tomato mixture and cook, covered, on very low heat, about 30 minutes. Turn off heat and allow rice to rest, covered, for 5 more minutes.
• In a separate pan, sauté shrimp in remaining tomato mixture until tender, about 5 minutes; then add grilled sausage. Fluff rice with a fork and combine with shrimp-and-sausage mixture.

ONE POT SAUSAGE, SHRIMP AND RICE

Steps:

• Slice the kielbasa into 1/4" rounds.
• Spray the bottom of a Dutch oven (or large pot) with olive oil spray and turn the heat onto medium high.
• Add the kielbasa slices and cook them for about 10 minutes. They are fully cooked, but we are looking for the outsides to get brown and the flavor to render.
• Dice the peppers and onion and add them to the pot with the kielbasa after the 10 minute cooking time.
• Cook the peppers and onion for 10 minutes or until tender.
• Use the moisture from the peppers and onions to pick up the burnt bits from the bottom of the pot, and use your wooden spoon to scrape them up.
• Add the paprika, onion powder, oregano, cayenne and salt.
• Half the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pot. Stir to combine.
• Add the dry, uncooked rice and stir to combine. Add the broth and stir again.
• Bring this mixture to a boil and then cover the pot, and reduce to simmer.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and tender (taste to be sure).
• Add the shrimp to the pot, stir to combine, and cover again. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the shrimp is opaque and firm.
• Chop the scallions and toss to combine.
• Taste for seasoning: add more salt if desired, or more cayenne for heat.

RED RICE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, and brown on each side. Add the onion, garlic and green peppers to the skillet, and cook until soft, stirring frequently. Mix in the sausage, and cook until hot, then pour in the tomatoes. Cook just until heated through. Stir in the cooked rice and spaghetti sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer to a large casserole dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, then remove the lid, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
