Dirty Rice & Shrimp

Healthy jambalaya.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 50 MinTotal time: 1 Hour

Ingredients

For the Rice

• 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
• 1 1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For the Creole Seasoning

• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon granulated onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons sweet paprika

For the Base Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 sweet yellow onion, diced
• 1 pound cooked, peeled shrimp

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons oil, rice and salt. Stir, and then add water. Cover the pan and turn heat to high until boiling.
2. Reduce heat and cook the rice about 50 minutes until tender. Turn off heat and let sit.
3. Blend seasonings in a small bowl and set aside.
4. Place the rest of the oil into a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the cooked rice to the pan and sprinkle with the seasonings. Stir to blend and add the shrimp, cooking a few minutes to heat everything through.

Notes

I use raw shrimp instead of cooked and just cook on the stove in the rice mixture long enough until shrimp turns pink. I also occasionally add a pound of diced turkey kielbasa.
