Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, with juices
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a large sheet pan with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the rice, diced bell pepper, diced onion, chopped celery, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the rice mixture evenly across the prepared sheet pan.
- Add the sliced smoked sausage and canned diced tomatoes over the rice mixture, then pour the chicken broth evenly across the pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and started to soften.
- Scatter the shrimp evenly over the pan and return it to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the rice is tender.
- Fluff gently with a spoon and serve hot.
Notes
- Add the shrimp near the end so they stay tender and juicy.
- If the rice still feels a little firm, add a splash of extra broth and bake a few minutes longer.
- For more heat, increase the cayenne pepper slightly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated with a splash of broth.
