New Orleans Shrimp {and sausage!} and Rice recipe...

notkateanymore · July 2013

Can't remember where and who asked for this recipe, but here it is. I made it tonight and it's great! I did make some changes and additions, that I'll list below. It was really easy and would make for a great weeknight meal with a little prep in the AM or on the weekend or using shortcuts like pre-chopped onion and bell peppers and pre-peeled and deveined shrimp.

I doubled the recipe {except for the butter} and added a pound of smoked sausage as well. I cooked the roux {flour/butter mixture} 2 or 3 minutes longer than she called for, to give it a deeper flavor. I chopped all my veggies small since DD "hates" veggies that she can see. LOL I also added 3-4 cloves of garlic to the veggies when I was sautéing them. Added the sausage with the tomatoes, broth, etc. I covered it for the first 10 or so minutes and then uncovered for 30 minutes more while our rice cooked. The longer you can cook it, the better it will be. We served over yellow rice, but brown or white would be great too. Crusty bread is a must!!

You're welcome! It was really good. I made it spicier than it called for too, because we like spicy food! I think it would be good with chicken and sausage or chicken and shrimp too. DH suggested we try it with a rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods shredded in it.

I used Tony's in this and it was fine. It's not a ton and you can adjust the other salt in the recipe. Remember you need it for the tomatoes, so it all evens out IMO. I actually added more than called for since we like spicy.

We make a similar sausage and shrimp meal to this and it is absolutely delish! I will be making this one in the near future, it sounds incredible!

@KateMW It was me! Thanks so much for the recipe! I will make this for sure - looks AMAZING!

Great! I knew it was somebody! It was really good and the leftovers were great today too! I preferred it over extra rice with only a little "juice" as DD called it, she liked it like gumbo with some rice. DH was just wanting to lick the bowl. It was better with more cooking and you can really play with the seasonings and kinds of protein you add.
