Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Red Beans

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Sausage and Beans

    Slice the andouille sausage and add it to the pot. Stir in the red beans, chicken broth, and cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, cook the white rice according to package instructions.

  4. 4

    Blacken the Shrimp

    Season the shrimp with cajun seasoning. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, place a scoop of rice in a bowl, top with the red bean mixture, and add the blackened shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley.
