Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 5 celery stalks, diced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 large bay leaves
- 1 15 oz can petite diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 12 oz chicken smoked andouille sausage, sliced thinly
- 1 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 12 oz frozen shrimp, raw, peeled, deveined, tail off
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Saute diced onion, pepper, and celery for 5 minutes.
- Add bay leaves, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, water, chicken sausage, cajun seasoning, and garlic powder to pot and bring to boil.
- Once the pot is boiling, pour in white rice. Cover with lid and simmer on low for 20 minutes or until rice is soft.
- Turn heat off and add frozen shrimp. Heat shrimp through or until they are pink and cooked about 10 minutes.
- Now you are ready to eat. The longer the gumbo-laya sits the thicker it will become. It is rather soup-like, which is indeed tasty, but after cooling a bit it becomes more stew-like. Store leftovers in the refrigerator...if you have any!
Notes
This is the shrimp and sausage I use. You can find both these products at Wal-Mart. :) 
Totally digging this Cajun seasoning. So. Much. Flavor. I believe I also bought this at Wal-Mart.
