Cajun Rice Pilaf Delight

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Boil the sausage in about 1/4 cup of water for 5 minutes. While that's going, peel the shrimp and toss the shells and tails into 2 cups of water. Bring that to a boil, then let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes to make a flavorful broth.

Step 2

Grill the sausage links for around 5 minutes until they're cooked through. Give the shrimp a quick brush with half a tablespoon of oil and grill them for about 2 minutes on each side. Once done, set them aside.

Step 3

Heat some vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and red pepper and sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and rice, cooking for another minute. Pour in the Syrah Rosé, give it a quick stir, then strain the shrimp stock into the pot.

Step 4

Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender. Meanwhile, chop the grilled sausage and shrimp into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

When the rice is ready, stir in the peas, shrimp, and sausage, cooking for a couple more minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Finish by sprinkling chopped green onions on top before serving.
