This One Pot Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Over Rice is an easy one dish meal that will leave your taste buds singing!
Thanks to the genius that is Veetee Rice, this One Pot Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Over Rice is so easy to make!
My husband and I am all about spice, flavor and heat. The same goes for my family (with the exception of my dad...he wants food mild, always has). My son, who is about to turn 15, totally enjoys heat in his food (yay). And my daughter, who recently turned 12, seems to lean towards my fathers feelings on the matter. She enjoys black pepper, maybe a pinch of Cayenne or a hint of jalapeno. However for now that's as far as she goes.
This One Pot Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Over Rice can be made in less than 20 minutes and with just a handful of ingredients. Pair it with a salad and you have yourself a great weeknight meal in no time at all, and only one pot...or in this case...skillet, to clean. Woot!
Delicious food doesn't have to take an hour (or more) to make. That's one of the points I like to make here on Souffle Bombay. Anyone can make delicious, memorable dishes without a ton of effort. Especially when you discover foods that you trust and enjoy that help make that happen

One Pot Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Over Rice
Ingredients
- 1 pound 21-25 shrimp cleaned and peeled
- 1 pound Andouille sausage
- Grapeseed or olive oil
- Cajun seasoning
- 2 packages of Veetee Dine In Rice - Basmati White Long Grain, Brown Rice or Red Beans and Rice New Orleans Style
Instructions
- Season your shrimp with Cajun seasoning. Don't be shy. I like Slap Yo Mamma, which is HOT! Choose the seasoning you enjoy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet with just about 2 TBS oil over med-high heat. When hot add your shrimp (cook in batches so as not to crows the shrimp, add more oil when necessary).
- Cook the shrimp through until pink about 2 minutes per side. Place on a plate tented with foil.
- Slice your sausage into bite-sized pieces and saute until browned a bit. Add more oil if necessary.
- Meanwhile cook your Veetee Dine In Rice in your microwave or wok according to the packages directions.
- Assemble your meal by placing the shrimp, sausage and any juice remaining in the pan over your rice and enjoy!
