Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
1 link (3 oz) Andouille or chorizo fully cooked chicken sausage, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika
3 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth, divided
1 cup instant brown rice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
12 oz uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
Add cooking spray to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté until onions are starting to caramelize, about 8 minutes.
Stir in turmeric and paprika. Add the broth, rice, salt and pepper. Bring to boil then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until rice is almost tender, about 12 minutes.
Place the shrimp into rice, then cover and cook until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 6 minutes.
Chef Tip: To save time, buy shrimp that’s already peeled and deveined. If frozen, thaw under cold running water.
