Fresh

The recipe and image is from Laila’s official website and guess what? There’s a few more there too, of both. She has the recipes under the heading At Home and that means she’s doing her own cooking. I wonder if she has room at her table for…Meeeee! She’s gonna call and ask, oh yeah, wait and see.

Laila’s Dirty Rice

4 cups brown rice
8 cups water
2 cups peeled, de-veined shrimp
2 cups chopped turkey andouille sausage
1 small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 chicken bullion cubes
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt or sea salt ( optional)

Bring water to boil in a large saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil , chicken bullion cubes, garlic powder, white pepper and rice. Stir well. Cover with lid and cook on low heat for about 17-20 minutes until all water is dissolved. Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. While the rice is cooking, in a large frying pan on medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the onion begins to brown (aprox. 4 min.), add the turkey sausage. Once the sausage begins to brown (aprox. 6 min), add the shrimp. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes on medium/low heat. Once the shrimp is pink in color, remover from heat. In a large serving dish, combine all of the cooked ingredients together and mix well. Season with salt to taste. Serves approx. 6-8
