1 package of Teton Waters Ranch Spicy andouille sausage (This isn’t just sausage, it’s the sausage. Andouille is a staple of creole cooking and Teton Waters Ranch andouille sausage makes the perfect addition to this recipe!)
1 pound of raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1.5 cups uncooked brown (or white) rice (long or short grain can be used), rinse it to help it clump less
3 tablespoons of olive oil
4 stalks of celery, diced
1 white onion, diced
3 green bell peppers, cored and diced
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
6 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
3 cups chicken stock
1 can crushed tomatoes
2 cups sliced okra
Directions
Brown the sausage according to directions on package, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
Defrost okra, if frozen, according to directions on package, and set aside.
Using a pot or large stir fry pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, celery, jalapeno, and garlic until soft (about 10 minutes).
Add the uncooked rice, chicken stock, crushed tomatoes & Cajun seasoning. Mix & continue cooking until it reaches a simmer and then reduce heat to medium low.
Simmer for approximately 30 minutes (until the rice is cooked well), mixing every 5 minutes or so to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
Add the okra and shrimp. Then, cook for a final 3 or so minutes (until the shrimp is no longer translucent).
Mix in the star of the show – Teton Waters Ranch andouille sausage.
Salt & Pepper to taste, remove from heat, and garnish generously with parsley.
