- Start by prepping your ingredients for Savory Shrimp Sausage Dirty Rice. Chop the onion and bell peppers into small pieces, and mince the garlic cloves until fragrant.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic, cooking for about 5 minutes until they're soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage, browning it for an additional 5-7 minutes until caramelized.
- Stir in 1 cup of rice and 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, allowing them to toast for about 1 minute.
- Add 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Gently fold in 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp, covering the skillet once again. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
