🔥 Instructions:
Cook the sausage (if using) in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.
Sauté onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in oil or butter until softened (5–6 minutes).
Add shrimp and season with Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until just pink and cooked through.
Stir in the cooked rice and sausage. Add broth if needed to moisten and bring everything together.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, letting flavors combine and the rice slightly crisp at the edges.
Garnish with green onions and parsley. Serve hot!
✅ Tips:
Want it spicier? Add hot sauce or cayenne.
Make it low-carb: sub cauliflower rice for regular rice.
For extra flavor, use andouille sausage instead of regular sausage.
