  • 1 cup yellow onion minced (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 cup green bell pepper diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 14 ounces andouille sausage cut into ½ inch rounds
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes (14.5-ounce)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  • Add the andouille sausage rounds to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, letting them brown slightly.

  • Add the sautéed vegetable and sausage mixture to the bowl with the rice and shrimp. Gently fold everything together until combined.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by the plain bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
