Ingredients
- 1 pound mixed seafood frozen
- ½ pound smoked sausage sliced
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1 green pepper diced
- ½ onion diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 ½ cups chicken or seafood stock low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- fresh lemon
- chopped green onions
Instructions
- Sauté the sausage in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until caramelized around the edges. Remove and set aside.
- Melt the butter and add the green pepper, garlic and onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken (or seafood) stock, Cajun seasoning, salt and sausage back in and bring to a boil.
- Add the rice and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add the frozen mixed seafood, gently stirring it in.
- Replace the lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Serve topped with chopped green onions and drizzled with fresh lemon juice.
Notes
- Make sure to stir very gently when mixing the seafood in to avoid breaking the rice up.
- Simmer the rice on low heat to avoid it overcooking.
