→ Seasonings and spices
09 -
1 tablespoon powdered garlic
10 -
1 teaspoon chili mix
11 -
¼ cup white flour
12 -
1 teaspoon seafood blend
13 -
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
14 -
1 tablespoon dried oregano
15 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
16 -
Salt as needed
17 -
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
18 -
A tiny pinch of cayenne, optional
# Steps:
01 -
Sprinkle the shrimp with seafood seasoning. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for roughly 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and done. Take them out and keep aside.
02 -
In the same pan, add the last tablespoon of oil. Toss in the sausage and beef, cooking for about 6-8 minutes until well browned and crumbled.
03 -
Throw in the chopped peppers, onions, and garlic with the browned meat. Let it cook through for about 5 minutes until the veggies soften slightly.
04 -
Add the thyme, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne if using, and salt to taste. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir it all in.
05 -
Carefully pour in the chicken broth and mix well. Let it gently bubble for 5-7 minutes so it thickens up a bit.
06 -
Toss in the cooked rice and stir until it's completely coated and blended with the flavors. Let it cook another 5 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.
07 -
Gently add the cooked shrimp back into the dish and heat for another minute or two. Taste and adjust any flavors before serving hot.
# Notes:
01 -
This is a hearty Louisiana dish with bold, lively flavors and a touch of seafood.
02 -
If you use rice made the day before, it won't fall apart or get overly soft when mixed.
03 -
Adjust the spiciness by changing how much cayenne you add. A little can pack a punch!
04 -
This meal tastes even better the day after, as the ingredients have more time to come together.
