1 Serving | Cook Time: 40 mins | Prep Time: 8 mins
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb turkey kielbasa, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Two 16 oz cans whole tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups chicken broth, preferably homemade (see page 110), or canned low-sodium broth
- 1 cup chopped scallions
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Creole or Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsps dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed well
- 3 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Dutch Oven, slotted spoon
In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausage is browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
Add green peppers, celery and garlic to the Dutch oven and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables soften. Add the tomatoes with their juice, the chicken broth, scallions, parsley, seasoning, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, ground red pepper, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir to break up the tomatoes. Stir in the rice and kielbasa and return to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rice is just tender. Stir in the shrimp, cover and cook for about 3 minutes more, until the shrimp turn pink. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
