Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces Italian sausage links
2 ¼ cups water, divided
1 pound shell-on medium shrimp
3 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 cup chopped onions
⅓ cup chopped red bell pepper
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup long-grain white rice
¼ cup Chateau Ste. Michelle Syrah Rosé
⅓ cup frozen peas
Salt and pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Boil sausage in 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes. While the sausage is boiling, remove the shells from the shrimp. Put shells and tails in 2 cups of water. Bring shrimp water to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Grill the sausage links for about 5 minutes or until they are completely cooked through. Brush the shrimp with 1/2 tablespoon oil and grill about 2 minutes per side. Pull off and set aside.
  • Heat a medium pot on medium high heat and add vegetable oil, onions, and red pepper. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add Cajun seasoning and rice; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the Syrah Rose, stir for a few seconds, and strain the shrimp stock into the pot. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop the shrimp and sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  • Once rice is done, add peas, shrimp, and sausage and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish with chopped green onions.
