2TblsTomato Paste

2TblsCajun Seasoningor Easy Chicken Spice Rub
2TblsParsleychopped (for topping)
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add in the onion, celery and bell peppers. Cook until tender and slightly caramelized (5-7 minutes)
Next add in the sausage and garlic (I removed the casing, it's up to your preference) and let cook down for another 2-3 minutes
Add in the tomato paste and 1 Tbls of the seasoning and stir it all together
Then add in the rice and the broth, stir again and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover (I used a sheet pan to cover mine if you don't have a large enough lid) leave covered for 15 minutes
After the 15 minutes, stir in the raw shrimp and cover again for another 10 minutes or until rice has absorbed the liquid and the shrimp are fully cooked
Season with more of the cajun seasoning to taste (it depends on the brand you use) if you use one without salt, you will need to salt to taste as well
