Description
This classic Cajun dish is too delicious for words.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil
- 1 onion (110 g), peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper (120 g), diced small
- 1 stalk of celery (20 g), diced small
- 3 garlic cloves (9 g), peeled and finely chopped
- 10oz (280 g) of smoked sausage, cut into rounds
- 1 Tablespoon (6 g) of Cajun spice
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (400 g)
- 2 cups (480 ml) of chicken broth
- 10.6oz (297 g) of shrimp, peeled and heads removed
- chopped parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan and gently fry the onions, bell pepper, and celery for a few minutes. Add the garlic, sausage, and Cajun spice. Continue to cook until the onions partially caramelize, stirring continuously (do not burn the garlic).
- Add the tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer (partially covered with a lid) for 1 hour. Check on the mixture regularly and stir to avoid any mixture sticking to the bottom.
- Remove the lid and cook uncovered for another 20-30 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Add the shrimp to the pan. (They will not take long to cook through.) Remove the pan from the heat once the shrimp turns pink.
- Divide between four warm bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
